Cerebral Blood Flow: Helmet vs Oronasal Mask During Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Ventilation
Sponsor: Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital
Summary
In this trial the investigators will evaluate blood flow in common carotid artery of healthy subjects treated with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Ventilation, comparing two different devices: oronasal mask versus Helmet. The hypothesis is that Helmet CPAP reduces carotid flow compared to oronasal mask.

Interventions
Helmet Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Partecipants will be started on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure at 10 cmH2O on inspired fraction of oxygen (FiO2)= 21% with the Helmet interface for a duration of 5 minutes while laying down on a stretcher with head elevated at 60°
Oronasal Mask Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Partecipants will be started on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure at 10 cmH2O on Inspired fraction of oxygen (FiO2)= 21% with the oronasal mask interface for a duration of 5 minutes while laying down on a stretcher with head elevated at 60°
