High demand and limited supply of N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) has led healthcare organizations to rely on other types of respirators, such as reusable elastomeric half-mask respirators (EHMRs). Long-used in industry settings, these non-powered reusable cartridge respirators are considered equivalent in filtering and respiratory protection to single-use N95s in the healthcare setting. This week's webinar will feature a panel discussion with representatives from healthcare organizations sharing their experiences and lessons learned from implementing and using EHMRs in a clinical care setting, both before and during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
