“…A ministerial order issued by the Ministry of Health is mentioned, which lifts the mandatory use of facemasks in certain settings, in alignment with the strategy to return to normalcy.The proposal provides an in-depth analysis of the infectious risk to healthcare workers and patients in pulmonary function laboratories, concluding that current practices —along with the use of surgical masks and viral filters— minimize the generation and transmission of infectious aerosols.Detailed recommendations are provided for risk management, including architectural controls, administrative measures, hygiene practices, and personal protective protocols, with the goal of safeguarding both healthcare professionals and patients.The cited bibliography reinforces the scientific evidence base underlying the proposed recommendations and demonstrates a careful and deliberate approach to the safe and efficient reintroduction of spirometry and other pulmonary function tests into routine healthcare.…”

“…In the absence of such a directive, these institutions are to ask if patients would like to complete one and to abide by it if presented by the patient.[4] These directives give patients control of future medical decisions in three key areas: entrusting an individual to act as a medical decision-making proxy, preferences for and consent to future treatment, and a statement of overall personal values and preferences to help inform future medical decisions by providers.[5] Although professionals initially crafted the law with end-of-life care in mind, 27 states now have mental health-specific provisions included in advance directive statutes.[6] As a subset of advance directives, psychiatric advance directives (PADs) are meant to protect patient autonomy during the treatment of psychiatric episodes when competence is compromised. …”
