nasal masks

[aansorge]

Hi all,

we search for a six month old infant with Undine syndrom a nasal mask for n/CPAP ventilation. Who knew a company which assemble nasal mask for such young patients?

We sometimes use nasal masks with the InfantFlow system.
These may be to small for a 6 month baby though.

That's exactly the problem, these masks are fabricated for ventilation of newborn or pretrem babies during their residence in a hospital, but we need a mask for a continious ventilation also at home.

We have a "national respiration-center" that produce individual solutions for patients with ventilatory support (being at home). Despite everything is in Swedish below, you might find some contact details you could use for a consultation. They may have better advice.
