论细菌病毒湿热交换呼吸通路过滤器HMEF的选择使用

The Use of Heat and Moisture Exchangers/Filters （HMEFs）

在手术室环境中，充满潜在的病原体和感染源。已有研究显示。与普通人群相比，医护人员．尤其是呼吸系统的医疗人员。有较高的气道反应性疾病或肺结核。本文拟寻找危险因子的源头，并探讨降低其对患者和医护人员危险性的方法。 使用细菌病毒湿热交换呼吸通路过滤器能降低患者感染的危险性．从而也可能降低医护人员的危险性。

The operating room environment, are rife with potentially dangerous pathogens and infectious aerosols. It has clearly been established, that certain healthcare personal, especially respiratory therapists, have a higher rate of reactive airway disease and TB, when compared to others who work in the hospital, and to the population at large We will attempt to identify the source of these risks, and discuss methods to decrease these risks, for both the patient and the caregiver. The use of filters and Heat and Moisture Exchangers/Filters （HMEFs） have been shown to lower risk for the patient, in terms of contamination and one may make a lucid argument that these devices will also decrease risks for the healthcare provider.
