Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All options (artificial skin, forehead spacer, reduce strap tension, and try nasal pillows) can help alleviate pressure sores over the nasal bridge caused by continuous noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation through a nasal mask. Artificial skin can protect the area, a forehead spacer can redistribute pressure, reducing strap tension can decrease the pressure on the nasal bridge, and trying nasal pillows can offer an alternative that may not cause pressure in the same area.
