Cooling vests alleviate perceptual heat strain perceived by COVID-19 nurses

ABSTRACT

Cooling vests alleviate heat strain. We quantified the perceptual and physiological heat strain and assessed the effects of wearing a 21°C phase change material cooling vest on these measures during work shifts of COVID-19 nurses wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).
