Preliminary Results on How Longer Facial Hair Lengths May Interfere With N95 Respirator Efficacy: A Brief Report Open
Background: The use of the N95 respirator outside work environments calls for a deeper understanding of the factors that interfere with its fitting, thus effectiveness. Here we determined how beard length influences N95 effectiveness. This…

A protocol to simultaneously examine cardiorespiratory, cerebrovascular and neurophysiological responses inside a hypobaric chamber Open
We describe a protocol to examine neurophysiological (electroencephalography, EEG), cerebrovascular (ultrasound assessments of middle cerebral artery blood velocity, MCAv) and cardiorespiratory (blood pressure, oxygen saturation, end-tidal…

A Protocol to Simultaneously Examine Cardiorespiratory, Cerebrovascular and Neurophysiological Responses Inside a Hypobaric Chamber v1 Open
We describe a protocol to examine neurophysiological (electroencephalography, EEG), cerebrovascular (ultrasound assessments of middle cerebral artery blood velocity, MCAv) and cardiorespiratory (blood pressure, oxygen saturation, end-tidal…

Associations between spontaneous electroencephalogram oscillations and oxygen saturation across normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia Open
High‐altitude indoctrination (HAI) trains individuals to recognize symptoms of hypoxia by simulating high‐altitude conditions using normobaric (NH) or hypobaric (HH) hypoxia. Previous studies suggest that despite equivalent inspired oxygen…

The effect of sudden drop in partial pressure of oxygen during ascent on heart function Open
Background: Cardiovascular disease is the second leading cause of diving deaths. Scarcity of 12 lead ECG recordings during dives leaves many questions unanswered about cardiac function during ascent. I hypothesized that decreased oxygen pa…
