Info

Respiratory Protection • Respirators can protect health workers; • Frequently, they are unavailable in resource- limited settings; • Respirator use should encouraged in high risk areas of hospitals and referral centers (e.g., bronchoscopy and MDR-TB); • A CDC/NIOSH-certified N95 (orgreater)orCEN- certified FFP2 (or greater) respirator should be used; and • Use of a face mask does not protect health care workers, other staff, patients, or visitors against inhalation of TB.
Respirator vs. Face Mask • Respirator has only tiny pores which block droplet nuclei and relies on an air tight seal around the entire edge • Face mask has large pores and lacks air tight seal around edges
