In addition they recommend use of N95 respirators for 4 hours before changing. Therefore we sought to test this as our hypothesis. The purpose of the study was to test the N95 fit test rates after 4 hours of use in a real-world intensive care unit setting to help assess if they adequately protected healthcare workers. | Type: | Clinical trial | Registry ID: | ACTRN12621000065897 | URL: | https://www.anzctr.org.au/Trial/Registration/TrialReview.aspx?id=380818 |
