Özet

Enfeksiyon hastalıkları içinde solunum yolu ile bulaşan hastalıklar kısa sürede pek çok insana bulaşabilme özelliği nedeniyle toplum sağlığı açısından önemli bir yer oluşturmaktadır. Tarihsel süreçte insanoğlu zorlu pek çok pandemi mücadele etmiş ve ciddi kayıplar vermiştir. Günümüzde yine solunum yoluyla bulaşan COVID-19 pandemisiyle tüm Dünya mücadele etmektedir. Koruyucu ve tedavi edici hizmetlerin birlikte yürütülmesi, sektörler arası işbirliğinin gerekliliği pandemi yönetimi açısından oldukça hassas bir konudur. Bu süreçte tüm toplumun olduğu kadar sağlık çalışanlarının da bulaşıcı hastalıklardan korunmaları adına kişisel koruyucu ekipman ve özellikle maske kullanımı enfeksiyon zincirini kırmak için gerekli bir uygulamadır. Sağlık çalışanlarının pandemi döneminde koruyucu ekipmanlar içerisinde özellikle maske kullanım ihtiyacı da artmaktadır. Ülkelerin sağlık politikalarında almış olduğu kararlar doğrultusunda sağlık çalışanlarının uygun ve yeterli sayıda koruyucu ekipman sağlayabilmeleri muhtemeldir. Ancak bazı durumlarda filtreli yüz maskelerinin uzun süreli veya yeniden kullanımı gerekebilir. Yeniden kullanım belirli proserdürlerde, belli kurallar çerçevesince yapıldığı takdirde, filtreli yüz maskelerinin yeterli sayıda tedarik sürecinde sorun yaşandığında bir çözüm yolu olarak düşünülebilir.
