Abstract
Cross contamination between a patient and rescuer or CPR trainees can occur when performing mouth to mouth ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). On the other hand, there has been a lack of research on the filtration efficacy of face shields that are designed to protect people from cross-contamination. This study aims to secure the safety of rescuers from communicable diseases in pre-hospital emergency settings and CPR trainees by verifying the protective effects of face shields. The FA shield and CM Shield were used to verify the safety. The bacteria collected from filters used by CPR trainees were incubated. These incubated bacteria were smeared onto the new filters, and were then blown out through the filters using a Bag Valve Mask (BVM) and the pathogens at the front and the back of the filters were checked. While the FA shield was effective in preventing the transmission of pathogens, the CM shield did not prevent the transmission of pathogens. Therefore, some of face shields that received national certification are ineffective in preventing cross-contamination. Accordingly, it is necessary to verify the safety of other face shields used domestically.
