The Use and Effectiveness of Powered Air Purifying Respirators in Health Care. The 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic and the 2014 Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa have called attention to the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE) in different health care settings. NIOSH, DOD, and OSHA organized this workshop to bring together NIOSH certification of air-purifying respirators (APR), powered air- purifying respirators and personal protective equipment (PPE) for use against these threats; Health and Human Services (DHHS), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Both N95 respirators and powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs) are used in health care settings. Information was presented from two respirator research studies that quantified the differences in respirator use around the country. Representatives of two hospitals and one union shared what they have learned from health care workers about PAPR use and preferences. In 2014, at NIOSH's request, the Institute of Medicine convened a workshop, titled, The Use and Effectiveness of Powered Air-Purifying Respirators in Health Care,to help prioritize and accelerate NIOSH activities to update certification requirements for PAPRs. The proceedings of the workshop are available on the IOM website (linked above).

Presentations and discussions highlighted current health care practices using PAPRs The Use and Effectiveness of Powered Air Purifying Respirators in Health Care: Workshop Summary Thu, January 08, 2015. The National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a workshop, "The Use and Effectiveness of Powered Air Purifying Respirators in Health Care," to help prioritize and accelerate National Institute for Occupational Safety and Purifying Respirators in a Healthcare Work Environment respirator. Results showed that the N95 mask was preferred over PAPR's in five of sixteen categories. Respiratory Protection Overview Jeffrey C.
