PAPRs does your hospital use them in surgery?

by avado

Our rural hospital is studying up on Positive air purifier respirators or PAPRS in place for N-95 for patients in airborne isolation. What kind of PAPRs system does your hospital have? Rough case scenario, if you need to take an airborne pt to emergency surgery..Currently we have Maxxair and 3M Airmate which are not recommended for surgery besides a bronchoscopy.

Appreciate the input!
