N95 respirator masks are used by medical providers for respiratory protection from airborne pathogens of transmissible diseases. In extreme situations or pandemics, when N95 masks may be in short supply, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) reported that some groups created their own N95 mask utilizing an anesthesia circuit mask plus a filter for use in short but high-risk procedures. The makeshift option for personal protective equipment was tested with a qualitative respirator mask fit test.
医疗人员使用N95呼吸面罩来防止通过空气传播的传染病病原体的呼吸道感染。在极端情况或大流行期间,当N95口罩可能短缺时,美国麻醉医师协会(ASA)报告称,一些团体利用麻醉回路面罩加过滤器自制了N95口罩,用于短期但高风险的手术。这种个人防护装备的临时替代品通过定性呼吸器面罩适合性测试进行了测试。
