“…In group B after 12-min walking-test with mask there are a significant change in PR and RR but always within normal ranges Schwarz S et al 2021 [ 9 ] | Survey | German | 20.353 respondents (parents, teachers, physicians) at survey of side effects of FMs worn by children and adolescents (Age: 0–17) | 67.7% of parents reported their children had side effects: headache, concentration difficulties, sleepiness, fatigue, skin worsening, nosebleed, anxiety disorders, rejection or anxiety of school, increased sweating, injuries behind ears, cracked lips, vision disorders and nightmares.

Chronic lung diseases | 7 | Schönhofer B et al 1995 [ 13 ] | Case control study | German | 29 cases vs 23 controls Pimax (cmH2O), P0,1 (cmH2O), P0,1/Pimax (cmH2O) | Cases: after 2 h with mask increased PaCO2, P0,1, P0,1/Pimax, HCO 3 and reduced Pimax |
| Bansal S et al 2010 [ 11 ] | Case control study; dual cartridge half face mask vs N95 | English | 73 cases with mild respiratory disease vs 24 healthy controls; minute ventilation/high, inspiratory time, duty circle, heart rate, tidal volume / high, respiratory rate, expiratory time, time to reach, peak inspiratory/expiratory flow, mead inspiratory flow, peak inspiratory/expiratory flow | Respirator type affects physiologic measures; respiratory timing parameters are more affected that ventilator volumes; asthma has greater respirator-disease interaction than COPD and rhynopathy |
| Harber P et al 2010 [ 12 ] | Case control study; dual cartridge half face mask vs N95 | English | 77 cases with mild respiratory disease vs 27 healthy controls; subjective response to respirator during tasks in a simulated work environment.
