How do you troubleshoot common issues and errors with liquid resin 3D printing?
It is also often helpful to remove supports from the model before curing, as removing them after can increase the chance of cracking the model and causing additional defects. This leaves a smoother surface and reduces the amount of sanding needed to finish the model.

Student Health Action Coalition (SHAC)

The Student Health Action Coalition supports Chapel Hill’s medically underserved community by providing a free weekly healthcare clinic. As a front-desk volunteer, I utilized my Spanish and English communication skills to provide a welcoming environment for patients as they checked-in. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was not able to continue in this role, so I remotely updated and organized patient medical records after their visits.

Carolina Covid Corps Student Volunteer
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
- 5 months
Health
I assisted in guiding students through self-administered COVID-19 tests throughout the Spring 2021 semester. Due to the pandemic, tests were mandatory for all on-campus students twice a week, which created a need for many individuals to volunteer to work on the front lines by staffing the testing sites. In this role, I completed one two-hour shift per week for 15 weeks.

Integration of Capnography and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in the Prehospital Setting
MedRxiv
BACKGROUND: Capnography is one of the most important respiratory monitoring tools used in EMS because changes to end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) generally precede blood oxygen desaturation, and waveform morphology can be used to assess bronchial patency. Many of capnography's indications overlap with those of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. However, there are currently no convenient methods to administer CPAP while using capnography, and no peer-reviewed studies have examined…
BACKGROUND: Capnography is one of the most important respiratory monitoring tools used in EMS because changes to end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) generally precede blood oxygen desaturation, and waveform morphology can be used to assess bronchial patency. Many of capnography's indications overlap with those of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. However, there are currently no convenient methods to administer CPAP while using capnography, and no peer-reviewed studies have examined combining the two technologies in the prehospital setting. METHODS & FINDINGS: Two types of capnography sampler were used to investigate how ETCO2, capnogram shape, and respiration rate (RR) are affected by applying a CPAP mask both with and without oxygen flowing. A traditional nasal-oral cannula (NC) sampler, as well as a novel sampler that does not break the seal between the CPAP mask and the patient's face (called the CPAP-Capnography Adapter, or CCA), were evaluated on a Human Patient Simulator (HPS). No significant differences between the NC and CCA were found for ETCO2 and RR percent error. Placement of a CPAP mask without turning on O2 increased ETCO2. During CPAP therapy, the two samplers maintained their RR measurement accuracy, but ETCO2 values were significantly reduced and the capnogram depicted an increased 𝛽-angle with severe blunting of the inspiratory downstroke. CONCLUSIONS: The HPS had set-point ETCO2 and PaCO2 values, indicating that the local CO2 concentration at the nares was diluted during CPAP and no longer accurately reflected the simulated subject's breathing. The compromise in waveform morphology could be overcome by further research into interpreting capnogram differences during CPAP between healthy patients and those with respiratory pathologies. However, at this time, our results show that ETCO2 values and capnogram shape should be interpreted with caution during CPAP.
