Comparative StudyTreatment of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure with continuous positive airway pressure delivered by a new pediatric helmet in comparison with a standard full face mask: a prospective pilot study.
To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure delivered by a new pediatric helmet in comparison with a standard facial mask in infants with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. ⋯ The helmet might be considered a viable and safe alternative to a standard facial mask to deliver continuous positive airway pressure in hypoxemic infants in the pediatric intensive care unit setting. In our study, the helmet allowed more prolonged application of continuous positive airway pressure compared with a facial mask, ensuring similar improvement in oxygenation without any adverse events and clinical intolerance.
