Mysore/Mysuru: Healthcare professionals in the fight against COVID-19 treat symptomatic, asymptomatic and emergency patients, thus putting their family and their own lives at risk. N95 masks have a OSHA APF and needs to be a tight fit which reduces the oxygen intake by up to 20%, causing Hypoxia and Hypercapnia. These are very uncomfortable and cumbersome.
This fact has prompted two organisations of the city, Rotary Mysore and S3V Vascular Technologies, to come together and donate two units of 3V Vayu - PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirators) valued at Rs. 1.5 lakh to the Government COVID Centre in city.
