Masks and machines available to pediatric patients

[SingleMom]

I remember reading somewhere that there are only a handful of machines that can be used by children. Anyone know if this is true? If so, any links so I can start looking at machines? How about masks?

My son just had his second sleep study (in 2 years, not titration) and I want to be prepared. If his results are the same or worse than his last study, pulmo wants to try him on cpap. She will also write a specific script for a machine and mask so I don't have to argue with DME.

I don't think that the machines are different.

Masks can be yes... different sizes... for an example see the Kidsta mask.

And the Fisher & Paykel 406.
