New mask designs aim to improve CO2 removal in breathing emergencies
NCT ID NCT06483984
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares three different facemasks used with a breathing machine (noninvasive ventilation) in 20 people whose lungs are not removing carbon dioxide well. The goal is to see which mask reduces the work of breathing and helps clear CO2 more effectively. Participants will try each mask in a random order, and researchers will measure breathing effort and blood gas levels.
