NODES Project Research at the Annual Meeting of the ''Italian Chapter European Society of Biomechanics'' and in the ''Journal of Biomechanics''
NEWBREATH researchers at the congress of the Italian Chapter of the European Society of Biomechanics.
From June 18th to June 19th, the Italian members of the Italian Chapter of the European Society of Biomechanics gathered in Palermo for their annual congress, the main Italian event for experts in the field of biomechanics: l'ESB-ITA2025.
The event was attended by young researchers led by Prof. Alberto Audenino, Prof. Mara Terzini and Dr. Simone Borrelli, who took the opportunity to share the latest results from research activities carried out within NEWBREATH, TINCARE's Research Module 4, which aims to develop a ventilation device to support patients at home.
In particular, the study entitled ''Optimization of Non-Invasive Ventilation Interfaces: Experimental Insights into Reducing CO2 Rebreathing'' was presented. The study focuses on the accumulation of carbon dioxide within helmet- and mask-type interfaces commonly used in non-invasive ventilatory support. The study identified the interfaces at greatest risk of accumulation and proposed innovative designs that reduce this phenomenon, thus increasing safety for the ventilated patient.
The analysis of non-invasive ventilation interfaces was also published in the Journal of Biomechanics.
Coinciding with the event, the paper that explores this topic in depth, and which can be consulted free of charge, was published in the journal of choice for the biomechanics communty, the Journal of Biomechanics: (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021929025003380?via%3Dihub).
The Palermo days and the publication in this important scientific journal represented a further stimulus to the continuation of the research and encouraged the sharing of the results with the respiratory biomechanics community, in Italy and abroad.
