Abstract
Pamatinformācija Aizsargājošās sejas maskas tagad ir visizplatītākais aptiekā nopērkamais izstrādājums sakarā ar koronavīrusa uzliesmojumu visā pasaulē, kas izraisa COVID-19, kā arī gripas sezonā mēs varam redzēt medicīnas personālu un pacientus, kas valkā sejas aizsargmaskas, kurām teorētiski vajadzētu aizsargāt mūsu elpceļus pret vīrusiem. Bet vai tā ir taisnība?
Mērķis. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir pārskatīt pieejamo informāciju par sejas aizsargmaskām un to, cik labi tās spēj mūs aizsargāt pret elpceļu vīrusu infekcijām. Mēs apskatīsim visbiežāk sastopamās maskas, kuras mēs varam iegādāties aptiekā, un salīdzināsim tās ar ļoti specializētām, profesionālām sejas maskām.
Metode. Informācija no žurnālu rakstiem, grāmatām un elektroniskajiem resursiem ir pārskatīta, analizēta un salīdzināta. Mūsu pētījumu rezultāti tika salīdzināti, un tika secināts, kura aizsardzība ir faktiski būtiska un kura bija tikai placebo efekts pacientiem.
Secinājums. Sejas aizsargājošās maskas, kuras mūsu pētījumu dēļ mēs varam iegādāties aptiekās, ir svarīgas tikai, lai jau inficētu personu aizsargātu pret infekcijas izplatīšanos sabiedrībā. Mēs varam novērot lielu paniku pasaules valstīs. Cilvēki izpērk visas maskas aptiekās, lai teorētiski pasargātu sevi un pārdod tās arī internetā par daudz augstāku cenu. Bet, tikai lietojot profesionālas maskas, kuras izmanto specializēts medicīnas personāls, var pasargāt no elpceļu vīrusu infekcijām.
