Check the gap: Facemask performance and exhaled aerosol distributions around the wearer.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Current facemask research focuses on material characterization and efficiency; however, facemasks are often not tested such that aerosol distributions are evaluated from the gaps in the sides, bottom, and nose areas. Poor evaluation methods could lead to

Pre-oxygenation in obese patients: facemask versus facemask with nasal prong
Malaysian Journal of Anaesthesiology, 2023 Introduction: Anatomical and physiological changes of the respiratory system in obese patients predispose them to rapid oxygen desaturation during apnoea. Adequate pre-oxygenation before anaesthesia induction allows a period of safe apnoea. The efficacy of pre-oxygenation with facemask versus facemask with nasal prong was compared.
