在COVID-19大流行的背景下,戴口罩变得司空见惯,在医院和社区。然而,公众正在消费外科或过滤式面罩(FFP),而不管其特殊性,导致最暴露人群的全球供应短缺,他们是医护人员。这强调迫切需要澄清不同类别口罩的适应症,为了合理使用它们。本文的研究规定了法国对医护人员合理使用呼吸防护设备的立场。
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, wearing a face mask has become usual and ubiquitous, in both hospitals and community. However, the general public is consuming surgical or filtering face piece (FFP) masks irrespective of their specificity, leading to global supply shortage for the most exposed persons, which are healthcare workers. This underlines the urgent need to clarify the indications of the different categories of mask, in order to rationalize their use. The study herein specifies the French position for the rational use of respiratory protective equipment for healthcare workers.
