Abstract

OxyJet's performance was first assessed through benchtop testing following the UK-MHRA RMCPAP protocol. This was followed by preliminary human testing in healthy volunteers and hypoxemic patients to evaluate safety and usability. A pilot feasibility study involving hypoxemic adult patients in Dhaka, Bangladesh, was then conducted to compare the device's physiological effects with those of standard CPAP therapy.
