Triaging of Respiratory Protective Equipment on the assumed risk of SARS-CoV-2 aerosol exposure in patient-facing healthcare workers delivering secondary care: a rapid review

2020-05-16

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Objectives: "In patient-facing healthcare workers delivering secondary care, what is the evidence behind UK Government PPE Guidance on surgical masks versus respirators for SARS-CoV-2 protection?" METHODS Two independent reviewers searched MEDLINE, Google Scholar and grey literature 11th-30th April 2020. Studies published on any date containing primary data comparing surgical facemasks and re...
