對於空氣傳播（Airborne precautions）疾病的病人，轉運過程中的感染控制重點在於「源頭控制」（Source control）。讓病人配戴外科口罩能有效捕捉其呼出的飛沫，減少病原體在公共區域的散播。這並非為了保護病人，而是為了保護周遭人員，因此病人無需配戴 N95 口罩（因為 N95 是保護配戴者，且病人難以達到密合測試要求）。
For patients with airborne-transmitted disease, the focus of infection control during transport is source control. Having the patient wear a surgical mask effectively captures the droplets they exhale, reducing pathogen dispersion in public areas. This is not for the patient's protection but to protect others; therefore, the patient does not need to wear an N95 respirator (which is designed to protect the wearer and is difficult for patients to fit-test properly).
