Hi! My currently bedridden 83 year old Aunt was prescribed to use a BiPAP but she has it removed after 5 to 10 mins because it is too heavy. Plus the mask she has is not comfortable because she has a digestive tube inserted.
Would anyone have a suggestion as to a mask that she can use ?
Thanks!
Any suggested mask for a person with digestive intubation?
Re: Any suggested mask for a person with digestive intubation?
Is the tube a naso-gastric tube? Does it close off the nose from breathing?
The circumstances you describe are challenging.
A possibility would be the Oracle 2 mask but it may be too difficult for her to adjust to.
Look at my post (in the signature block below) and see if this seems possible for her.
I would be willing to help if she wishes to try.

Re: Any suggested mask for a person with digestive intubation?
Can you be more specific? What mask was "too heavy" and what kind of "digestive tube"? Are we talking ng tube or something else?
We will try to help, but we need more info.
