Disposable filtering face piece respirators (FFRs) are usually not approved for routine practice of decontamination and reuse. However, such practice of decontamination and reuse may be needed only as a crisis capacity strategy to ensure continued availability. The current severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic would help us enlighten about more effective and efficient ways of decontamination and reuse. Based on the limited research available, ultraviolet irradiation, vapors of hydrogen peroxide, and moist heat showed the most promising potential methods to decontaminate FFRs. This article summarizes available research about decontamination of FFRs before reuse. Singh R, Azim A, Singh N. Should We or Should We Not Reuse Filtering Face Piece Masks? A Review.

一次性过滤面罩呼吸器（FFR）通常未被批准用于常规的去污和再利用操作。然而，仅作为一种危机应对能力策略，以确保其持续供应时，可能需要进行这种去污和再利用操作。当前的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）大流行将有助于我们了解更有效和高效的去污及再利用方法。基于现有的有限研究，紫外线照射、过氧化氢蒸汽和湿热显示出对FFR进行去污的最具潜力的方法。本文总结了关于FFR再利用前去污的现有研究。 辛格R、阿齐姆A、辛格N。我们应该还是不应该重复使用过滤面罩？一篇综述。《印度重症监护医学杂志》2020年；24（9）：857 - 862。
