The development of groundbreaking sleep apnea devices, including auto-adjusting pressure machines, bilevel positive airway pressure machines, continuous airway pressure machines, and implantable devices, makes it easier to treat patients with disruptive sleep issues. ...
Methods:This study used a simulated ICU room with a breathing-patient simulator exhaling nebulized bacteriophages from the lower respiratory tract with various respiratory support modalities: invasive ventilation (through an endotracheal tube with an inflated cuff connected to a mechanical ventilator), helmet ventilation with a positive end-expiratory pressure ...
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 different helmets via a ventilator and a total facemask via a bilevel positive airway pressure device. ...
