P2/N95 filtering face piece respirators (FFRs) protect healthcare workers (HCWs) from airborne infections. This study assessed the impact of facial hair on quantitative respirator fit in 105 male HCWs, of whom 38 were clean shaven, and assessed the prevalence of male facial hair at the study facility. Only 34 (32%) male HCWs overall achieved an adequate FFR fit, including 47% of clean-shaven men. No full-bearded HCWs achieved a fit. Adequate respirator fit decreased significantly with increasing facial hair (P<0.01 for trend). Facial hair was present on 49% of male employees. This study supports quantitative fit testing prior to P2/N95 respirator use.

刮胡子?P2 / N95呼吸器在有面部毛发的医务工作者中的表现:BEARDS(标记为适当的呼吸道防御)研究的结果。

P2 / N95过滤式面罩呼吸器(FFR)保护医护人员(HCW)免受空气传播的感染。这项研究评估了105名男性HCW中面部毛发对定量呼吸器配合的影响,并评估了38名清洁过的男性面部毛发的患病率。总体而言,只有34(32%)名男性HCW达到了适当的FFR适应度,其中47%的剃过胡子的男性。没有胡子的医务工作者能够胜任。随着面部毛发的增加,适当的呼吸器适合度显着降低(趋势P <0.01)。49%的男性雇员中存在面部毛发。这项研究支持在使用P2 / N95防毒面具之前进行定量拟合测试。
