Abstract
Individuālie aizsardzìbas līdzekļi (IAL) ir ikdienas nepieciešamība lielākai daļai medicīnas personāla: medicīnas māsām, asistentiem, ārstiem un citiem. Zinot kāda veida IAL ir vislabāk piemēroti noteiktām darbībām, tas var palīdzēt izvēlēties vispiemerotākos aizsardzības līdzekļus medicīnas jomā. Šis raksts apskata divu veidu IAl - medicīnas maskas un medicīniskos cimdus. Tādi faktori kā komforts, ergonomika un veselības efekti tiks ņemti vērā, salīdzinot IAL vienu ar otru. Tātad, šī zinātniskā darba mērķis ir izpētīt IAL funkcionalitātes faktorus (lietošana, ergonomika, pielietojums) un arī ar veselību saistītos efektus, ko šo līdzekļu lietošana izraisa.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is not just an optional measure but a necessity for most medial staff such as nurse, medical assistants, doctors and other personnel. Knowing and being aware about what type of PPE is best suitable for certain tasks can help in choosing the appropriate equipment when working in the medical field. This research paper looks in depth at two types of PPE such as medical masks and gloves. Factors such as comfort, ergonomics and effects on health will be taken into consideration when comparing different PPE between each other. Therefore, the aim of this research paper is to investigate the functionality (use, purpose, ergonomic factors) and health-related issues caused by personal protective equipment.
