Demonstrates that helmet interfaces reduce air leakage and infection transmission during noninvasive ventilation for COVID-19, highlighting the necessity of vigilant monitoring for timely intubation.
a face mask or helmet interface. Helmet adheres better than mask and therefore leakage is reduced, a delivery of positive end-expiratory pressure is more accurate, and the risk of nosocomial transmission of infections is lowered. Patients on NIRS must be carefully monitored so that further respiratory deterioration is not overlooked and additional measures of care including timely intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation could be performed if needed.
