Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
Subjective dyspnoea, as assessed by a composite of the Borg scale and MRC dyspnoea scale and its correlation to hypoxia in mask wearers. Time point is 30 minutely oxygen saturation measurements and subjective dyspnoea scales as assessed during a 4 hour period of mask wearing.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Hospital personnel were recruited to wear two masks for 4 hours each, a standard 3 layer surgical mask, fit tested N95 mask, and also a control arm of no facial covering (control arm). The order in which they wore the masks/control was randomised. Baseline demographics were collected, including psychometric testing (PROMIS anxiety and depression PROMs).
Doel van het onderzoek
Use of any mask (surgical or N95) in a standard day of work for hospital staff, may result in subjective feelings of dyspnoea. These symptoms of dyspnoea do not correlate to a decreased oxygen saturation, but do correlate to baseline participant anxiety or depression.
Onderzoeksopzet

Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
