This paper introduces a system that detects the presence or absence of the mandatory medical mask in the operating room. The overall objective is to have as few false positive face detections as possible without losing mask detections in order to trigger alarms only for healthcare personnel who do not wear the surgical mask. The medical mask detection is performed with two face detectors; one o...

The ongoing COVID-19 disease significantly effects not only the human health but also wealth of country’s economy, and this pandemic is contributing with increased usage face mask. People’s are using use throw mask for a particular time period in day that disposed proper manner. So, we planned to make an incinerator disposal In project waste (i.e, Surgical mask, Gloves) method done incineration...

The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a supraglottic medical device used to maintain a patent airway during surgery or a medical emergency. Its initial use was as a means of providing general anesthesia without an endotracheal tube (ETT) while avoiding the need to hold an anesthesia mask in place. As clinical experience has developed with the device, the LMA has been used for a wider range of surg...

The use and withdrawal of surgical face masks in recent years has occurred in an ad hoc manner that is incompatible with evidence-based practice. Much of the literature on masks consists of anecdotal evidence or summaries of previous studies. The rationale for wearing masks has shifted from protection of the patient to protection of the health care professional wearing the mask. Currently there...

Wearing a face mask affects the speech production. On top of that, the frequency response and radiation characteristics of the face mask depending on the material and shape of the mask adds to the complexity of analyzing speech under face mask. Our target is to separate the effect of muscle constriction and increased vocal effort in speech produced under face mask from sound transmission and ra...
