A Physical Analog to Assess Surgical Face Mask Air Flow Resistance During Tidal Ventilation

A large variety of disposable face masks have been produced since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Decreased resistance to inspiration improves adherence to the use of the mask; the so called breathability is usually estimated by the measurement of air flow across a section of the tissue under a...
