WHO recommendations
• When used with administrative and environmental controls, particulate respirators may provide health care workers (HCW) additional protection from TB
• Respirators – Must meet or exceed standards– Be properly used– Be part of a training programme

WHO recommends particulate respirators for HCWs:
• Caring for patients with confirmed or suspected infectious TB (in particular MDR-TB)
• Performing aerosol-generating procedures on infectious TB patients
– Bronchoscopy, intubation, sputum induction
– Use of high speed devices for lung surgery or autopsy

Surgical masks
• Reduce the spread of microorganisms from the wearer to others, by capturing large wet particles
• Do not protect the wearer from inhaling small infectious aerosols.

7
Particulate respirators
• Protect the wearer from inhaling droplet nuclei
• Filter out infectious aerosols
• Fit closely to the face to prevent leakage around the edges

Air-purifying respirators
Remove specific air contaminants by passing ambient air through the air-purifying filter, cartridge or canister
![Page 16: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Negative pressure respirators
• air pressure inside the facepiece is negative during inhalation
• contaminated air can avoid the higher-resistance filter and leak in through gaps in the face seal
![Page 17: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Types of air purifying respirators
Non–powered (negative pressure)Powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR)• A blower draws air through the filter and
blows it into the face piece• Pressure inside face piece reduces face-seal
leakage (offers more protection)• Loose fitting PAPRs can be used for people
that cannot achieve an adequate seal
![Page 18: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Respirator programme elements
• Person assigned responsibility • Written procedures• Medical evaluation• Training• Selection of respirators• Fit testing• Maintenance• Programme evaluation
![Page 19: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Why is fit testing necessary?
• Ensure a proper seal between respirator and wearer
• Determine appropriate make/model• Determine appropriate size
![Page 20: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
When should fit testing be done?
Employees should pass a fit test:• Prior to initial use• Whenever a different respirator facepiece
(size, type, model or make) is used• Periodically thereafter• Whenever changes in the worker’s
physical condition or job description that could affect respirator fit are noticed or reported
![Page 21: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Sources of facepiece leakage
• Around facepiece/skin interface• Through air-purifying element• Through exhalation valve
![Page 22: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Factors contributing to poor fit
• Weight loss or gain• Facial scarring• Changes in dental configuration
(dentures)• Facial hair• Cosmetic surgery• Excessive makeup• Mood of workers (smiling/ frowning)• Body movements
![Page 23: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Qualitative fit tests:
• Rely on the individual’s response to the test agent to assess the adequacy of respirator fit
• Are scored as pass/fail
![Page 24: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Test solutions for qualitative fit testing
Four methods recognized and accepted• Isoamyl acetate• Irritant aerosol• Saccharin• BitrexTM (Denatonium benzoate)
![Page 25: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Fit tests using saccharin or BitrexTM
• Can be used for all respirators (i.e. 95-, 99- and 100- series and FFP2 and FFP3)
• Uses subject’s sense of taste• Requires the use of small test hood
![Page 26: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Saccharin and BitrexTM
• Subject demonstrates ability to detect weak solution in the test hood
• Subject dons respirator • Strong solution (~100 times) sprayed into
hood• Respirator passes if subject does not taste
aerosol• Assumed fit factor = 100

28
Quantitative fit tests:
• Measure the amount of leakage into the respirator to assess the adequacy of respirator fit
• Are scored with a number
![Page 29: Respiratory protection](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020207/5599fdb71a28ab1b098b45cd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Maintenance and storage
• Take care of your disposable respirator– Decontamination NO!– Cleaning NO!– Storage Clean & dry place!
• Take care when re-using respirator – closely monitor service life
• Inspect prior to each use• Dispose of the respirator if you question its
performance

Summary
• Surgical masks prevent infectious particles from being expelled by the wearer
• Respirators protect the health care worker from inhaling infectious particles
• When used with administrative and environmental controls, N95, FFP2 or FFP3 respirators provide additional protection when HCWs care for infectious TB patients
• Whenever respirators are used, a respirator programme is necessary
