Exhaled air dispersion distances during noninvasive ventilation via different Respironics face masks
Abstract Background: As part of our influenza pandemic preparedness, we studied the exhaled air dispersion distances and directions through two different face masks (Respironics; Murrysville, PA) attached to a human-patient simulator (HPS) during noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) in an isolation room with pressure of -5 Pa. Methods: The HPS was positioned at 45 degrees on ...

Exhaled air dispersion during noninvasive ventilation via helmets and a total facemask
Abstract Background: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) via helmet or total facemask is an option for managing patients with respiratory infections in respiratory failure. However, the risk of nosocomial infection is unknown. Methods: We examined exhaled air dispersion during NIV using a human patient simulator reclined at 45° in a negative pressure room with 12 air changes/h by two ...
