Interventions
The participants wearing PAPRs perform continuous chest compressions on the manikin in 2-min sessions, while measuring SWPF in real time. We use a Mask Fitting Tester, Model MT-05U (SIBATA Scientific

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is a ratio of the any failure of protection (simulated workplace protecting factor; SWPF < 500) during sessions of chest compression. Adequacy of respirator fit was represented by the fit factor (FF), which is calculated as the number of ambient particles divided by the number inside the respirator. We defined the FF during chest compression as the SWPF. | — |
