Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the use of CPAP for treating neonatal respiratory distress and the resultant increase in nasal pressure injuries as noninvasive ventilation became more common.
- It employs a modified pressure sensor to measure mask-interface pressure on neonates’ faces and evaluates how different factors, such as mask placement and positioning, affect these pressure readings.
- Results show significant pressure variations, particularly at the philtrum, highlighting the need for improved strategies to prevent skin injuries in neonates receiving CPAP therapy.
