Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Capillary blood sampling for blood gas (pO2, pCO2). Comparison of pre- to post intervention values between different face pieces/masks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Capillary blood sampling for glucose and lactate. Comparison of pre- to post intervention values between different face pieces/masks and control. Spiroergometric assessment for O2 uptake and CO2 exhalation. Comparison of mean values during interventions between different face pieces/masks and control. Assessment of subjective wellbeing (Feeling Scale) and cognitive performance (Stropp Interference Test). Comparison of pre- to post intervention values between different face pieces/masks.
