Pneumask: Modified Full-Face Snorkel Masks as Reusable Personal Protective Equipment for Hospital Personnel	2020-04-29		.txt	text/plain	13527	723	58	Here we adapt and evaluate a full-face snorkel mask for use as personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers, who lack appropriate alternatives during the COVID-19 crisis in the spring of 2020. The modified flow path for use as PPE (general hospital usage), is very similar to the stock configuration of the mask: all inhale breath is directed through the filter, and the majority of exhale air is directed through the chin valve. 24.20078907 doi: medRxiv preprint Figure 5 A qualitative fit test was performed by the standard University of Utah Operating Room team using the same protocol suggested by CDC and NIOSH on elastomeric respirators and N95 masks. The successful results for the fit test with the different individuals used in this study indicate that the Dolphino and Decathlon masks both form acceptable seals, showing also that the custom adapter and the chin valve do not generate significant leaks.	./cache/cord-296216-odzm7lml.txt	./txt/cord-296216-odzm7lml.txt
