背景及目的：在COVID-19大流行期间，卫生专业人员及普通民众对口罩的需求增加。在这种情况下，有必要总结的特点和适应症的不同类型的口罩。材料和方法：咨询和汇编不同的建议传播的著名机构，如世界卫生组织，欧洲疾病预防中心，循证医学中心，或卫生部的西班牙政府已经审查。结果：咨询的机构建议为医疗工作者保留FFP净化器，特别是在进行气溶胶生成程序（AGP）时（最低FFP 2保护），并在稀缺时期考虑一些再利用系统。建议不进行AGP的专业人员和有症状的人群使用外科口罩，但其适用于一般健康人群的适应症存在差异。结论：在COVID 19大流行导致个人防护设备短缺的背景下，应根据使用者和所进行的活动确定每种口罩的使用优先级和合理化。(c)2020年FECA。出版社：Elsevier Espana，S.L.U.

Background and objective: In the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand of masks has been increased by health professionals and the general population. In this context, it is necessary to summarize the features and indications of the different types of masks.Material and methods: To consult and to compile the different recommendations disseminated by prestigious institutions such as the World Health Organization, the European Center for Disease Prevention, the Center for Evidence-Based Medicine, or the Ministry of Health of the Government of Spain has been reviewed.Results: The institutions consulted recommend reserving FFP respirators for healthcare workers, especially when carrying out aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) (minimum FFP2 protection) and consider some reutilization systems during times of scarcity. The use of surgical masks is recommended to professionals who do not perform AGPs and to the symptomatic population but exist variations in its indications intended for the general healthy population.Conclusion: In the context of shortage of personal protective equipment due to the COVID19 pandemic, a prioritization and rationalization of the use of each type of mask should be established according to the user and the activity performed.
