    AbstractAlthough noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is administered to manage respiratory failure due to various causes, safety and effectiveness issues associated with the use of NIV masks have been reported. The present article aims to provide health professionals with a comprehensive review of the ergonomic considerations of NIV masks in terms of design, evaluation, and personalization. Based on a review of 93 papers, we provide guidelines for mask selection and troubleshooting during mask use as well as ergonomic approaches including face anthropometry, sizing systems, mask design, evaluation, and personalization. The comprehensive information presented in this review provides ergonomic perspectives to identify and prevent safety and usability problems associated with the use of NIV masks. Ergonomic improvement and personalization are important goals in order to facilitate the success of NIV treatment.Copyright © 2022 by Daedalus Enterprises.
