新冠肺炎疫情对公众健康造成巨大影响，也极大地改变了我们的生活方式。这是由于受感染个体的SARS-CoV-2的口鼻传播速度很快。当COVID-19患者说话、唱歌、咳嗽、打喷嚏或仅仅呼吸时，就会产生液体雾化颗粒。我们开发了一种新型气溶胶屏障口罩（ABM），以减轻SARS-CoV-2和其他传染性病原体的传播。这款气溶胶防护口罩专为在医院设施内运送患者时防止SARS-CoV-2传播而设计。这种口罩可以限制气溶胶和液滴颗粒，并将它们困在生物过滤器中，而患者通常呼吸并给予医用氧气。该系统可以被表征为氧气输送和减缓面罩，其没有未经过滤的呼出空气分散。口罩有助于防止SARS-CoV-2和其他潜在的传染性呼吸道病原体的传播，并保护所有人，尤其是医疗保健专业人员。
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused huge impact on public health and significantly changed our lifestyle. This is due to the fast airborne oro-nasal transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from the infected individuals. The generation of liquid aerosolized particles occurs when the COVID-19 patients speak, sing, cough, sneeze, or simply breathe. We have developed a novel aerosol barrier mask (ABM) to mitigate the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious pathogens. This Aerosol Barrier Mask is designed for preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission while transporting patients within hospital facilities. This mask can constrain aerosol and droplet particles and trap them in a biofilter, while the patient is normally breathing and administrated with medical oxygen. The system can be characterized as an oxygen delivery and mitigation mask which has no unfiltered exhaled air dispersion. The mask helps to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, and potentially other infectious respiratory pathogens and protects everyone in general, especially healthcare professionals.
