cord-318188-baat9464	Park, Soo Hyun	Are loose-fitting powered air-purifying respirators safe during chest compression? A simulation study	2020-03-31		.txt	text/plain	3708	193	52	We investigated the protective effect and usefulness of loose-fitting powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) during chest compression. We measured the concentrations of ambient aerosol and particles inside the loose-fitting PAPR during chest compression, and this ratio was set as the simulated workplace protecting factor (SWPF). The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect of loose-fitting PAPRs during chest compressions. We measured the concentrations of ambient aerosol and particles inside the loose-fitting PAPR's hood during chest compression, and this ratio was set as the simulated workplace protecting factor (SWPF). A previous simulation study showed that the N95 respirator failed to provide sufficient protection, with the fit factor falling below 100 in 73% of participants during chest compressions [7] . In this study, most participants (81%) did not think that the loose-fitting PAPR interfered with the ability to perform chest compression. In conclusion, the loose-fitting PAPRs provided sufficient respiratory protection and comfort during chest compression.	./cache/cord-318188-baat9464.txt	./txt/cord-318188-baat9464.txt
