In the near term, when we lack an adequate supply of vaccine and antiviral medication, strategies that rely on social distancing and physical barriers will be relatively more prominent as means to prevent spread of disease. The use of respirators and facemasks is one key part of a larger strategy to establish barriers and increase distance between infected and uninfected individuals. Respirators and facemasks may have a role in both clinical care and community settings. Reusability of Facemasks During an Influenza Pandemic: Facing the Flu answers a specific question about the role of respirators and facemasks to reduce the spread of flu: Can respirators and facemasks that are designed to be disposable be reused safely and effectively? The committee-assisted by outstanding staff-worked intensively to review the pertinent literature; consult with manufacturers, researchers, and medical specialists; and apply their expert judgment. This report offers findings and recommendations based on the evidence, pointing to actions that are appropriate now and to lines of research that can better inform future decisions. 606 $aInfluenza$zUnited States$xPrevention 606 $aCommunicable diseases$zUnited States$xPrevention 606 $aMasks$zUnited States 606 $aBreathing apparatus$zUnited States 606 $aEpidemics$zUnited States$xPrevention 606 $aInfluenza, Human$xprevention & control$3(DNLM)D007251Q000517 606 $aMasks$3(DNLM)D008397 606 $aRespiratory Protective Devices$3(DNLM)D012134 606 $aDisease Outbreaks$xprevention & control$3(DNLM)D004196Q000517 607 $aUnited States 615 0$aInfluenza$xPrevention. 615 0$aCommunicable diseases$xPrevention. 615 0$aMasks 615 0$aBreathing apparatus 615 0$aEpidemics$xPrevention. 615 12$aInfluenza, Human$xprevention & control. 615 22$aMasks. 615 22$aRespiratory Protective Devices. 615 22$aDisease Outbreaks$xprevention & control. 676 $a614.518 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S).$bCommittee on the Development of Reusable Facemasks for Use During an Influenza Pandemic. 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bBoard on Health Sciences Policy. 712 02$aNational Academies Press (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959721903321 996 $aReusability of facemasks during an influenza pandemic$94362150 997 $aUNINA
