目的：评价使用者（包括轻度呼吸障碍患者）在传统工业环境之外使用呼吸器的主观耐受性。研究方法：呼吸器使用（半面罩双筒和N95）的反应进行了测量，在八种类型的工作活动，以及在运动实验室设置。43名研究对象包括患有轻度呼吸障碍的人。评价了多个领域的主观反应。结果如下：评估呼吸器类型和任务类型影响的混合模型回归分析显示：1）最耐受的呼吸器使用良好; 2）半面罩呼吸器的不良影响通常大于N95类型; 3）应测量多个主观结果，而不仅仅是舒适度/呼吸影响; 4）工作活动期间的主观影响低于运动实验室设置。结论：研究结果表明，呼吸器的使用可能是可行的，在广泛的基础上，如果有必要在面对流行病或恐怖问题。（J Occup Environ Med. 2009;51：38-45）
Objective: Evaluate subjective tolerance to respirator use outside of traditional industrial settings by users including persons with mild respiratory impairment. Methods: The response to respirator use (half face mask dual cartridge and N95) was measured during eight types of work activities as well as in an exercise laboratory setting. The 43 research subjects included persons with mild respiratory impairments. Multiple domains of subjective response were evaluated. Results: Mixed model regression analyses assessing the effect of respirator type and task type showed: 1) most tolerated respirator use well; 2) half face mask respirators typically had greater adverse impact than N95 types; 3) multiple subjective outcomes, rather than only comfort/breathing impact, should be measured; and 4) rated subjective impact during work activities is less than in exercise laboratory settings. Conclusions: The results suggest that respirator use may be feasible on a widespread basis if necessary in the face of epidemic or terror concerns. (J Occup Environ Med. 2009;51:38-45)
