Annual Respirator Fit Testing
• Fit can change over time
• If it doesn’t fit it doesn’t work
• Prioritize testing if• Weight loss of >20 lbs
• Significant weight gain
• Extensive Dental Work
• Scarring
• Cosmetic Surgery

AORN Recommendations• NIOSH-approved
• Fit-tested
• Surgical N95 respirator or higher-level respirator
AORN Guideline for Transmission-Based Precautions
Additional AORN Recommendations
• Surgical Smoke Safety• In procedures that generate smoke
and involve HPV• During higher-risk aerosol-generating
procedures
• Medication Safety• When handling medication that may
generate airborne powder or aerosols• When preparing for and
administering chemotherapeutic agents during hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) procedures.
• A Safe Environment of Care• Respiratory plan may outline when
respirators are required for specific chemicals and when adequate ventilation cannot be provided
• When the level of formalin in an area is greater than 100 ppm
• Environmental Cleaning• When entering a room of a patient
with an airborne transmissible disease before a complete air exchange occurs.
• When cleaning procedures are expected to generate infectious aerosols
Recommendations from the Guideline for Transmission-based Precautions and the Guideline for Sterile Technique addressed separately.

Question #2
Question #2
PAPRs
https://www.osha.gov/Publications/3352-APF-respirators.pdf
PAPR Placement
Only wear a PAPR under a sterile surgical
gown when the manufacturer specifies it can be worn this
way.
Perioperative PAPR use Risks and Benefits
Respiratory Protection
Sterile Gown & Sterile Field Contamination
AORN Guidance
• Interdisciplinary team evaluation of perioperative PAPR use when sterile fields are present
• If PAPR use is allowed, a standard plan for protecting the sterile field from contamination should be in place
• Portion of the sterile field to be covered
• Direction of blower exhaust
• Type of PAPR allowed (eg, loose-fitting, full-face piece, hood style)AORN Guideline for Sterile Technique
Sterile Field Covering
Two “Cuffed” Drape Method
Applying AORN Recommendations in Real Life
Changing Evidence
• Reference:
• Howard R, Lathrop G, Powell N. Sterile field contamination from powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) versus contamination from surgical masks. Am J Infect Control. 2020; 42(2):153-156.
Surgical Helmet Systems
• Hoods, Togas
• Does not provide respiratory protection
• Protective against splashes, splatters, and sprays
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions for use
• Donning• Determining if a mask is necessary
• Turn on fan once fully donned
• Head cover is unsterile once donned

Rachel allsopp
CleanSpace HALO is a reusable system that once deployed
can be relied upon by hundreds of healthcare workers for
many years.
Easy to clean, disinfect, recharge and reuse – CleanSpace
HALO offers healthcare providers assurance for their PPE
investment.
Like SARS, COVID19 has exposed life threatening
vulnerabilities in global supply chains for disposable masks.
Governments have been caught paying large sums for
counterfeit masks or receiving no products at all.
CleanSpace (Australian made) is a reusable program that
can be reliable upon for routine use and scalable during
pandemic preparedness.
RELIANCE ON DISPOSABLE MASKS LEAVES FRONTLINE HCW EXPOSED
