Several types of masks are available for CPAP therapy, catering to different preferences and comfort
levels:
Choosing the right CPAP mask for OSA treatment depends on factors such as individual breathing
patterns, facial anatomy, comfort preferences, and the severity of sleep apnea. Healthcare
professionals typically conduct mask fittings and trials to ensure proper fit and effectiveness for
each patient. Regular assessment and adjustments may be necessary to optimise CPAP therapy and
improve adherence.
These masks cover the nose only and are held in place with straps that go over the head. Nasal masks are suitable for individuals who breathe primarily through their nose and prefer a compact mask design. Nasal masks are typically lighter and less intrusive than full face masks, making them a popular choice for many patients.
Nasal pillow masks feature small cushions that seal around the nostrils, providing a minimalistic and lightweight option for CPAP therapy. They are ideal for individuals who prefer less facial contact or experience claustrophobia with traditional masks and find them uncomfortable. Nasal pillow masks also offer a more open field of vision, enhancing comfort for some users.
Full face masks cover both the nose and mouth, providing a seal around the entire face. They are suitable for individuals who breathe through their mouth during sleep or who experience nasal congestion or for flushing out CO2 in COPD patients having a Hypercapnia condition (CO2 Retention) Full face masks may also be beneficial for individuals with facial irregularities or those who experience air leaks with other mask types who require higher CPAP pressure levels or those who experience air leaks with nasal masks. Choosing the right type of mask for NIV therapy depends on factors such as patient comfort, individual preferences, and the specific respiratory needs of the patient. Healthcare professionals typically assess each patient to determine the most suitable mask type and ensure proper fit and effectiveness during therapy.
Special masks designed to facilitate the delivery of air or oxygen to the patient's airways are used. These masks are crucial for patients requiring respiratory support but are not intubated. Here are some common types of face masks used for NIV:
