RT Journal A1 Palen TE, Felix KG T1 SUrgical masks vs n95 respirators for preventing influenza JF JAMA JO JAMA YR 2010 FD March 10 VO 303 IS 10 SP 937 OP 939 DO 10.1001/jama.2010.192 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2010.192 AB The need for N95 respirator fit testing adds considerable cost to the higher cost of the device itself. However, the article did not state whether the users received training in how often to change either the surgical masks or the N95 respirators. If they did receive such training, it would be helpful to know if the trained auditors collected information regarding whether the nurses changed their masks or respirators at appropriate intervals.
