Assessing Modeled Retention and Rebreathing of a Facemask Designed for Efficient Delivery of Aerosols to Infants
Figure 5
CO2 concentration map representing different stages of the first respiratory cycle (normal breathing pattern). A sagittal plane taken parallel to the plane of the center of the infant’s nostril is shown at different discrete times within the first modeled respiratory cycle. Blue represents a CO2 concentration of zero percent (the modeled concentration of ambient air), and red represents a CO2 concentration of 5% (the usual CO2 concentration found in exhaled air from a human infant). (a) sec; (b) sec; (c) sec; (d) sec; (e) sec.
