Ep68. N95s vs. surgical masks. Is there anything to debate? with Dr Leo Lam

In this episode, I chat with Dr Leo Lam, an electrical engineer with a PhD in mathematical modelling, who amongst many other talents, designs anaesthesia infusion pumps.

We discuss N95s from the perspective of a physical scientist and engineer.

We have come a long way from 2020 when we first learnt about respiratory protection!

We discuss PAPRs (powered air purifying respirators), fit-testing, PPE buddies, using a HAZMAT approach in hospitals and more in earlier episodes of the Australian Anaesthesia podcast. These can only be found on the ASA website and are exclusively for ASA members: https://asa.org.au/podcasts
