Abstract The present outbreak of Ebola has health care professionals seeking guidance on isolation precautions for routine care and aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs). The most recent guidelines state that during AGPs, health care professionals should wear respiratory protection at least as protective as a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health-certified fit tested N95 filtering face piece respirator or higher; for example, a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR). The present review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using a PAPR versus an N95 mask, and relates the experience of the Jewish General Hospital (Montreal, Quebec) of PAPR policy implementation. Training programs on proper donning and doffing of personal protective equipment and quality control systems need to be in place. Respiratory therapists are frontline during AGPs and need to be active in the decision making of the type of equipment chosen to protect them. These precautions include the appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE) as indicated by hospital policy. The present outbreak of Ebola viral disease (EVD) has health care personnel seeking guidance on the appropriate use of PPE for suspected cases that may arrive to their facility. The 2007 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, Georgia, USA) Guideline for Isolation Precautions ( 1 ) emphasize that the route of transmission dictates recommendation for infection control measures; however, the question remains as to what PPE is required for aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs). Do we use powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) or N95 masks. Are there advantages or disadvantages to using a PAPR, and is there a recommended procedure for donning and doffing.http://ambarevleri.com/images/3m-adflo-papr-manual.pdf EBOLA ROUTE OF TRANSMISSION Taking the Ebola outbreak as an example, we need to understand how it is transmitted. Ebola hemorrhagic fever is caused by infection with the Ebola virus, a member of the family Filoviridae, a severe and often fatal illness in humans. The mode of transmission to humans is through close contact with the blood, secretions, or organs of ill or deceased chimpanzees, gorillas or fruit bats. Human-to-human transmission occurs by direct contact (through broken skin and mucous membrane) with infected blood, body fluids, secretions or organs of an infected person ( 2, 3 ). To date, airborne transmission has not been documented; therefore, early recognition of an individual with suspected EVD is critical for infection control ( 3 ). The incubation period varies from two to 21 days, with seven days being the average. Exposure to the Ebola virus in the health care setting occurs when infection control precautions are not strictly practiced by health care workers (ie, not wearing appropriate PPE). The CDC has released infection prevention and control recommendations for hospitalized patients with known or suspected Ebola hemorrhagic fever in the United States ( 4 ). Table 1 summarizes of the main CDC recommendations for hospitalized patients with known or suspected EVD, and includes the standard contact and droplet precautions. TABLE 1 Summary of the main Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Georgia, USA) recommendations for hospitalized patients with known or suspected Ebola virus disease Component Recommendation Comments Patient placement Single patient room (containing a private bathroom) with the door closed. Facilities should maintain a log of all persons entering the patient’s room Consider posting personnel at the patient’s door to ensure appropriate and consistent use of PPE by all persons entering the patient room. PPE All persons entering the patient room should wear at least: Gloves Gown (fluid resistant or impermeable) Eye protection (goggles or face shield) Facemask Additional PPE may be required in certain situations (eg, copious amounts of blood, other body fluids, vomit or feces present in the environment), including but not limited to: Double gloving Disposable shoe covers Leg coverings Recommended PPE should be worn by HCP on entry into patient rooms or care areas. On exit from the patient room or care area, PPE should be carefully removed without contaminating one’s eyes, mucous membranes or clothing with potentially infectious materials and either Discarded, or For reuseable PPE, cleaned and disinfected according to the manufacturer’s reprocessing instructions and hospital policies. Instructions for donning and removing PPE have been published Hand hygiene should be performed immediately after removal of PPE AGPs Avoid AGPs for Ebola hemorrhagic fever patients If performing AGPs, use a combination of measures to reduce exposures from AGPs when performed on Ebola hemorrhagic fever patients Visitors should not be present during AGPs Limiting the number of HCPs present during the procedure to only those essential for patient care and support Conduct the procedures in a private room and ideally in an Airborne Infection Isolation Room (AIIR) that is a negative pressure room, when feasible. If hands are visibly soiled, use soap and water, not alcohol-based hand rubs Open in a separate window Data adapted from reference 4. AGPs Aerosol-generating procedures; HCP Health care practitioner; NIOSH National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health; PPE Personal protective equipment RESPIRATORS: N95 OR PAPR. Currently, the CDC and the WHO have no clear guidelines on AGPs and the use of N95 versus PAPRs. The N95 masks filter at least 95 of particles Figure 1 ). Their disadvantages include requiring an initial and periodic fit testing, the possibility of being compromised by an improper fit (eg, because of facial hair), poor tolerance by users due to breathing resistance, and heat and moisture build up, the high cost of stocking different types and sizes, and the potential for contamination due to exposed face and neck ( 7, 8 ). Open in a separate window Figure 1) Examples of National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health-certified N95 masks, courtesy of 3M (USA) ( 11 ) and Moldex (USA) ( 12 ) A PAPR is a battery-powered blower that provides positive airflow through a filter, cartridge, or canister to a hood or face piece. The type and amount of airborne contaminant will dictate the type of filter, cartridge or canister required for the PAPR. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) tests different respirator models in its laboratory to ensure they meet certain minimum performance standards and it is the employer’s responsibility to assess the respiratory precaution needs and ensure that the correct filter, cartridge or canister is purchased ( 9 ). The use of HEPA filters in PAPRs implies that they have a greater level of respiratory protection than N95 masks. They also have the advantage of providing head and neck protection, do not require fit testing because of a full hood, are approved for use with facial hair and allow for continuous bedside care of a patient. Their disadvantages include difficulties in communicating due to their bulk and noise, the inability to use a stethoscope and a requirement for electricity (batteries) to ensure proper airflow rates into the hood. After use, filters are considered to be contaminated with infectious material; therefore, they pose a potential risk to individuals reprocessing reusable respirators ( 9 ). It consists of a mounted battery-operated respirator with disposable black tubing and a double-shrouded hood ( Figure 2 ). The rechargeable battery must be tested routinely by a designated individual. Before using the PAPR, one must ensure that the HEPA filter and gasket are in place. The black tube connects to the PAPR and the blower is tested by placing a nipple in the tube and ensuring that it rises according to manufacturer’s specifications ( Figure 3 ). The tube is then attached to the hood and the blower turned on before placing the hood over the face ( Figure 4 ). Open in a separate window Figure 2) 3M Air-Mate (3M, USA) belt-mounted battery operated respirator with disposable black tubing (left) and double-shrouded hood (right). The greater protection provided by a PAPR over a N95 mask for droplet and airborne particles is reduced if one self-contaminates with a disease that is transmitted via contact; hence, the importance of proper training. When donning, the shoe cover (which may or may not be used) is first and then the gown (ensuring it is tied at the back). The N95 mask or the PAPR is secured after verifying the flow, and the face shield or the loose-fitting hood is placed over the face, with the inner shroud tucked inside the gown. Then hand hygiene, and the long-cuffed gloves go over the sleeves of the gown. The removal of PPE should be performed at least 2 m away from the patient, near the door. The shoe cover, gloves and gown should be removed inside the room, and a trained assistant should be available to help you remove and clean the PAPR. The hood or face shield and N95 mask should only be removed outside the patient’s room, and then placed in a biohazard bag. All PPE should be removed so as not to self-contaminate. The advantage of using the N95 mask for AGPs is that it is disposable and does not place additional personnel at risk; hence, the CDC’s statement for EVD “Because of the potential risk to individuals reprocessing reusable respirators, disposable filtering face piece respirators are preferred” ( 4 ). In cases in which a health care worker cannot be fit-tested for an N95 mask or has facial hair, the use of a PAPR is an alternative. Also, in situations in which a live airborne virus is being handled, a PAPR may be preferred to the N95 mask. EXPERIENCE AT THE JEWISH GENERAL HOSPITAL The Ebola outbreak has reminded our team that we have PAPRs in our institution (purchased in anticipation of the H1N1 epidemic), and that we do not have a policy for when it is required and how it is used. Only two members of hospital staff were trained on donning, doffing and cleaning of the PAPR. We are now developing a policy on the use of PAPRs, which will be followed by training sessions for staff identified as potentially requiring their use. During H1N1, we used the waterproof gown, long-cuff nitrile glove, N95 mask and face shield for all AGPs with success. As respiratory therapists, we still use N95 masks as a routine precaution during bronchoscopies and intubations because there have been situations in which samples returned positive for airborne infection and the patient was not under airborne precautions. Hospital infection control policy makers have been left to decide whether a PAPR should be used for EVD. What is clear is that we must be proactive because it is just a question of time before an infected patient arrives in Canada. As part of a disaster infection control plan, there must be provisions for training in the use of all types of PPE for health care workers who may be involved in the care of an infected or suspected case, and there must be proper quality control systems in place. The decision to use a PAPR for AGPs without a program in place can lead to more self-contaminations than using appropriate PPE with a fit-tested N95 mask. Its use has not yet found a specific niche, EVD being no exception. The Infection Prevention and Control Department of the Jewish General Hospital recently developed a policy for infection control precautions for EVD and ensured that it was reviewed by a multidisciplinary team including the respiratory therapy department. It is extremely important as respiratory therapists that we ensure that our role in AGPs is identified and our needs are met. All respiratory therapy departments should be proactive and ensure that their hospitals have policies in place. REFERENCES 1.

Search Google ScholarSearch Google ScholarSearch Google ScholarSearch Google ScholarSearch Google ScholarTwo types of loose-fitting powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) equipped with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters have been approved for use in the facility. Although both respirator systems were previously certified by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health for use in occupational environments that pose a risk of respiratory exposure to infectious agents, there are currently no regulatory requirements for routine field-testing of units in situ. This report describes a method for conducting on-site total leak testing for each HEPA-filtered PAPR used in a biocontainment setting. This testing evaluates the integrity of the filter itself and whether it is seated properly in the filter housing. On-site routine performance testing such as this provides an enhancement to the safety procedures governing research activities assigned to biosafety level 3 or animal biosafety level 3. The outlined test method is currently used in the Regional Biocontainment Laboratory at Duke University to verify proper filtration efficiency prior to placing newly purchased units into service and for annual reverification. Keywords respirators, PAPR, biohazard, HEPA filtration, performance testing, field testing, BSL-3, ABSL-3 The Regional Biocontainment Laboratory (RBL) at Duke University is utilized to safely perform research activities involving infectious microbes at biosafety level 3 (BSL-3). Such containment is applicable for minimizing exposure risk when working with infectious agents that may cause serious or potentially lethal disease through the inhalation route of exposure. 1 A strict set of standard operating procedures governs all work activities in the laboratory and animal areas of the RBL, including defined requirements for personal protective equipment. A risk assessment of the high-containment research (ie, BSL-3) indicated a need for respiratory protection of laboratory personnel. The advantages and disadvantages of both powered and nonpowered respirators were considered when determining the most appropriate type of device to use in a BSL-3 environment. 2 It was determined that a loose-fitting powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and a double-shrouded hood would best meet the needs of the research staff in the RBL. This respirator configuration is currently a required personal protective equipment component that is worn while actively handling risk group 3 (RG3) infectious microbes assigned to BSL-3 and infected animals assigned to ABSL-3. The expected protection provided by a respirator when used within an effective respiratory protection program, as well as within compliance with Occupational Health and Safety Administration 29 CFR 1910.134, 3 is expressed as its assigned protection factor (APF). 4, 5 An APF represents the ratio of the concentration of a contaminant outside a respirator to the concentration of a contaminant inside the respirator; thus, the APF increases as this ratio increases. A loose-fitting PAPR with HEPA filtration has an APF of 1000 and, when worn properly, provides a higher level of respiratory protection when compared with negative-pressure half-mask respirators, such as N95 respirators, which have an APF of 10. 2, 3, 5 This added level of protection has led to the use of PAPRs in many work environments that pose a risk of occupational exposure to airborne biohazards, as in BSL-3 laboratories. Other benefits of wearing a loose-fitting PAPR include the following: it offers respiratory protection without the need for tight face seal or fit testing; it can be worn by individuals with facial hair; the head cover and facepiece provide added splash and contact protection; it provides improved comfort for the wearer by constant flow of air through the unit; and the battery-powered blower pulls air through the filter, which results in no additional breathing resistance for the wearer. Various types of HEPA-filtered containment equipment are commonly found in BSL-3 facilities. Examples include biological safety cabinets, ventilated animal caging systems, and exhaust air filtration systems. Several guidelines suggest the routine field-testing and certification of such equipment. 1, 6, 7 In addition, inspectors from the Federal Select Agent Program (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) require registered facilities to provide written test reports for all biological safety cabinets, animal caging systems, and exhaust filters during routine site visits. While all of the aforementioned entities and others place importance on routine testing of certain protective equipment, none of them currently require or recommend in situ efficiency testing of PAPR units. Although HEPA-filtered PAPRs are worn to protect workers from potentially infectious bioaerosols during laboratory work—as would be generated from spills outside of biological safety cabinets—we are not aware of any current requirements to verify proper filtration efficiency in the field. American National Standards Institute Z88.2, “Practice for Respiratory Protection,” simply indicates that the PAPR high-efficiency filter should be replaced whenever the minimum airflow cannot be maintained, whenever the filter is damaged, or whenever unacceptable breathing resistance is noticed. 5 The American National Standards Institute report does not make a specific recommendation for routine field-testing of the PAPR system as it is to be used in the workplace. In addition, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration requires that PAPRs worn in the occupational setting be National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) certified and used in compliance with a site-specific respiratory protection program; however, this standard does not specifically require any type of regular in situ testing. Thus, the safety team of the RBL at Duke University decided to investigate the feasibility of conducting on-site performance testing of the PAPR units used. Both manufacturers of the PAPR systems used in the RBL (3M and MAXAIR) were contacted for guidance on how best to ensure proper unit filtration efficiency prior to use in a potentially hazardous work environment. Each emphasized the fact that its PAPR system was a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of 1000 and offered this as an indication of predicted performance over time in the field. The following summaries provide additional responses from each PAPR vendor. 3M recommends a thorough inspection of the whole unit prior to each use. This includes removal of the back cover and filter and careful inspection of multiple internal components ( Figure 1 ). 3M also emphasizes the importance of verifying proper airflow by performing a flow check prior to each use. 3M does not recommend nor provide instruction on field-testing.
