Airflow and droplet spreading around oxygen masks: A simulation model for infection control research

BACKGROUND: Respiratory assist devices, such as oxygen masks, may enhance the potential to spread infectious aerosols from patients with respiratory infections. METHODS: A technique was developed to visualize exhaled aerosols during simulated patients' use of oxygen masks in a health care setti...
