Preventing Airborne Disease Transmission: Implications for Patients During Mechanical Ventilation	2013-05-29		.txt	text/plain	3661	196	46	We discuss the risk of transmitting these procedures and the strategies for mechanical ventilation in future airborne epidemics with special consideration given to the issue of protecting health care workers (HCWs). In contrast to the situation regarding severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or tuberculosis prevention in HCWs, little attention has been given to the importance of HCWs personal protective equipment (PPE) (gowns, gloves, masks) for prevention and management of infl uenza. There is also potential for NIV to reduce the need for intubation in patients with infl uenza pneumonia or chronic respiratory disease, facilitate extubation, and widen the provision of ventilator support outside the intensive care unit (ICU). Evaluation of droplet dispersion during non-invasive ventilation, oxygen therapy, nebulizer treatment and chest physiotherapy in clinical practice: implications for management of pandemic infl uenza and other airbone infections Aerosol generating procedures and risk of transmission of acute respiratory infections to healthcare workers: a systematic review	./cache/cord-016897-t71f10kv.txt	./txt/cord-016897-t71f10kv.txt
