N2 - The MASI mechanical ventilator was developed in a state of emergency to meet the demand for ventilators caused by COVID-19. Although it has obtained positive results in its use with patients in intensive care units, not having an optimal quality non-invasive ventilation (NIV) modality prevents it from being used in the early treatment of patients, which has been shown to prevent admission to the ICU and reduce mortality. Therefore, the following study focuses on evaluating MASI's ability to provide NIV using different accessories in order to compare their performance and determine which one would work best with MASI, and under which conditions. To do this, the high-flow nasal cannula, facial mask, and ventilation helmet accessories were tested under different pressure parameter settings. The data was collected using a gas flow analyzer. After that, a statistical analysis of the results was carried out, which showed that the face mask is the best accessory to use for NIV with MASI, and that it performs with optimal accuracy and precision when the peak inspiratory pressure is set at a value lower than 25 cmH20.
