Summary
This animation explores how a child perceived growing up during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on their experiences with mask-wearing and its psychological impact.
Area of Science:
- Child psychology
- Public health communication
- Societal impact of pandemics
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated widespread mask-wearing globally.
- Understanding the psychosocial effects of public health measures on children is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To illustrate a child's perspective on mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- To provide insight into how children process and adapt to public health mandates.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative analysis of a personal narrative presented through animation.
- Exploration of a mother-daughter dialogue concerning mask experiences.
Main Results:
- The daughter's statements offer a unique view of childhood during the pandemic.
- The animation highlights the subjective experience of growing up with face masks.
Conclusions:
- Children's perspectives on public health interventions like mask-wearing are valuable.
- Visual storytelling can effectively convey the emotional and social impact of pandemics on youth.

01:26Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask
247
The human body requires oxygen to function, and when the natural process of respiration is hindered, external devices, including the following, are needed to help deliver this vital gas.
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
Oxygen percentage setting:...

01:19Masking and Demasking Agents
2.4K
EDTA titrations may necessitate masking and demasking agents to temporarily protect a particular metal ion in a mixture from the EDTA reaction. These agents facilitate the sequential analysis of the metal ions by forming stable complexes with some—but not all—metal ions during certain steps.
There are many masking agents, such as cyanide, fluoride, triethanolamine, thiourea, and 2,3-bis(sulfanyl)propan-1-ol (formerly 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol), with the masking agent chosen based on...

01:10PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing
883
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

01:22PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning
935
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

01:20Personal Protective Equipment

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:
