International guidelines recommend that an appropriately sized infant face mask should cover the mouth and nose but not the eyes, and should not overlap the chin.1,2 Careful consideration needs to be given to mask size, fit and hold as a good seal with minimized leak is important for establishing effective ventilation.
Resuscitation mask features
The resuscitation mask range by F&P Healthcare includes masks of 35 mm and 42 mm diameter, which are among the smallest masks available on the market.
Research shows that masks of 35 mm diameter are most suitable for infants younger than 29 weeks’ gestational age, while masks of 42 mm diameter are recommended for infants between 27 and 33 weeks’ gestational age.3
F&P Healthcare’s resuscitation masks can be used with a self-inflating bag, flow-inflating bag or T-piece circuit. The infant masks are designed to be soft and pliable, with a transparent surface that allows breath condensate to be observed.
