Are There Specific Types of Masks Recommended for Neonatal Care?
In neonatal care settings, surgical masks are commonly used by healthcare providers. These masks are effective in blocking large-particle droplets, splashes, sprays, or splatter that may contain germs. Additionally, N95 respirators may be used in situations where there is a high risk of airborne transmission of infectious diseases. The type of mask used can depend on the specific circumstances and the level of risk involved.
