流感(Influenza)的傳播途徑主要是「飛沫傳播」(Droplet transmission)。飛沫顆粒較大(通常大於 5 微米),在空氣中停留時間短且傳播距離有限(約 1 公尺內)。因此,進入病房時穿戴標準外科口罩(Surgical mask)即可有效阻擋飛沫,保護照護者。除非是進行會產生氣膠的醫療操作(如插管),否則不需要 N95 口罩。
Influenza is transmitted via large respiratory droplets that travel short distances, making a surgical mask appropriate for protection during routine care. An N95 respirator is reserved for airborne precautions or aerosol-generating procedures, while goggles and gowns are not primarily indicated for standard droplet transmission control.
