Article Synopsis
- SARS-CoV-2 aerosolization during noninvasive ventilation can pose risks to healthcare professionals, leading to the exploration of various circuit setups aimed at reducing aerosol spread while maintaining ventilator performance.
- The study tested eight different circuit setups using a model to assess their effects on ventilator efficacy during noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) by measuring various performance variables.
- Results revealed that circuit type significantly affected key ventilator performance metrics, with the dual-limb circuit and oronasal mask setup providing the best performance and a single-limb circuit setup yielding the worst results.
