Purpose: We investigated the impact of surgical masks (SM) during oxygen therapy using oxygen masks in volunteer- and simulation-based studies.
Methods: Fifteen volunteers wore the Hudson RCI or Open-Face Mask with/without an SM. The fraction of inspired oxygen concentration (FIO), end-tidal CO (EtCO), partial pressure of inspired CO (PICO), and respiratory rate (RR) were measured. The oxygen flow rate increased from 0 to 10 L/min. In the simulation-based study, FIO was measured using a simulator that reproduced spontaneous breathing. RR was 12 or 24 bpm, and the tidal volume (Tv) was 300, 500, or 700 mL. The effect of oxygen mask fitting conditions was also examined. The primary outcome measure was FIO at 6 L/min.
Results: In the volunteer-based study, FIO was reduced when the SM was used with the Hudson RCI or Open-Face Mask. The FIO drop was larger with the Open-Face Mask than with the Hudson RCI. The RR, EtCO, and PICO significantly changed with the SM, but the differences were not clinically meaningful. In the simulation-based study, the SM with the Hudson RCI did not reduce FIO, but the SM with the Open-Face Mask significantly decreased FIO under several conditions. However, the SM with the Hudson Mask reduced FIO when the fit of the mask was inadequate. With the Open-Face Mask, lower RR and Tv resulted in larger differences in FIO.
Conclusions: The SM decreased FIO during oxygen therapy with oxygen masks. The impact of SM depended on the type of the oxygen mask, mask fitting, and respiratory condition.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of a surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) system for setup and intra-fraction motion control in frameless non-coplanar stereotactic radiosurgery (fSRS) using actual patient data immobilized with two different types of open-faced masks and employing a novel SGRT systems settings.
Methods And Materials: Forty-four SRS patients were immobilized with two types of open-faced masks. Sixty lesions were treated, involving the analysis of 68 cone-beam scans (CBCT), 157 megavoltage (MV) images, and 521 SGRT monitoring sessions.

: The main goal of radiotherapy (RT) is to deliver a precise dose to the target while sparing the surrounding normal tissue and minimizing side effects. Appropriate patient immobilization is crucial, especially for head and neck cancer (HNC) and Brain Cancer (BC). Conventional closed-face masks (CFMs), while effective in minimizing head motion, can cause significant discomfort, anxiety, and claustrophobia.

Purpose: To compare patient discomfort and immobilisation performance of open-face and closed immobilization masks in cranial radiotherapy.
Material And Methods: This was a single-center randomized self-controlled clinical trial. At CT simulation, an open-face and closed mask was made for each patient and treatment plans with identical dose prescription were generated for each mask.

A smart home sleep respiratory monitoring system based on a breath-responsive covalent organic framework (COF) was developed and utilized to monitor the sleep respiratory behavior of real sleep apnea patients in this work. The capacitance of the interdigital electrode chip coated with COF exhibits thousands-level reversible responses to breath humidity gases, with subsecond response time and robustness against environmental humidity. A miniaturized printed circuit board, an open-face-mask-based respiratory sensor, and a smartphone app were constructed for the wearable wireless smart home sleep respiratory monitoring system.

Purpose: The objective of this work is to estimate the patient positioning accuracy of a surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) system using an optical surface scanner compared to an X‑ray-based imaging system (IGRT) with respect to their impact on intracranial stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
Methods: Patient positioning data, both acquired with SGRT and IGRT systems at the same linacs, serve as a basis for determination of positioning accuracy. A total of 35 patients with two different open face masks (578 datasets) were positioned using X‑ray stereoscopic imaging and the patient position inside the open face mask was recorded using SGRT.
