Figure 1. In A, schematic illustration of the ELMO 1.0, a helmet interface that provides a gas flow of 30 L/min through two flowmeters (one for compressed air and one for oxygen) and an FiO2 as high as 100%. CPAP is delivered through a medical gas mixture (inlet) and a PEEP valve (outlet). A high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter can be placed at the outlet before the PEEP valve, and a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) is used at the inlet for noise reduction. The ELMO 1.0 requires no power supply. In B, photograph of a volunteer using the ELMO 1.0.
