Nebulized fentanyl for respiratory symptoms in patients with COVID-19 (ventanyl trial)
Published 2022“…Therefore, we hypothesize that nebulized fentanyl has superior effect in improving shortness of breath and relieving cough compared to normal saline, in addition to its advantageous throat pain relief, while exhibiting fewer side effects in patients with COVID 19 infection. Therefore, this phase-III, randomized, comparative, parallel assignment, single-blinded clinical trial aims at assessing the efficacy and safety of nebulized fentanyl to suppress cough, improve breathlessness, and relieve throat pain in patients with COVID-19.…”

Airflow dynamics in an emergency department: A CFD simulation study to analyse COVID-19 dispersion
Published 2021“…The analysis revealed that three critical areas of the emergency department, namely overnight patient beds, operating rooms, and resuscitation rooms, had significantly higher air velocity, dispersion, and mixing levels than the rest of the department's spaces. According to the two scenarios examined, the possibility of air transmission from these locations to neighboring areas becomes apparent, increasing the likelihood of transmitting the virus from these locations and infecting people in the adjacent areas, including patients and health care providers. …”
