Our study was performed to address the limited data on N95-mask usage in pregnancy with the aim of investigating the effects of breathing through the N95 mask materials on respiratory functions at rest, during low intensity work, and recovery thereafter in pregnant healthcare workers. Prior to the N95 cycle, an additional 15-minute conditioning period was allowed to enable patient to adapt Fig. 1 Determination of average work intensity of Health care workers: In phase I pregnant subjects performed simulated patient care activities while breathing through a tight fitting mask with a pneumotachometer.	./cache/cord-274791-1fmouoal.txt	./txt/cord-274791-1fmouoal.txt
