ResMed® Pixi™ Pediatric Nasal Mask: Tailored CPAP Therapy for Young Children
Introduction
The ResMed® Pixi™ Pediatric Nasal Mask is meticulously engineered to meet the unique needs of children aged 2 to 7 who require CPAP therapy. Recognizing the challenges in pediatric sleep apnea treatment, this mask combines comfort, safety, and functionality to promote therapy acceptance among young patients.
Child-Friendly Design
Unlike scaled-down adult masks, the Pixi™ is specifically designed to accommodate the facial anatomy of young children. The mask’s frame is positioned away from the eyes and ears, reducing irritation and providing a clear line of sight, which helps alleviate feelings of claustrophobia.
Soft Silicone Cushion
The thin, soft silicone cushion minimizes pressure on delicate facial tissues while maintaining an effective seal. This design ensures that therapy is both comfortable and effective, encouraging consistent use.
Adjustable Headgear
This thoughtful design minimizes discomfort and potential skin irritation, making it suitable for extended use.
Safety Features
Safety is paramount in the Pixi™ design. The mask includes an emergency latch that allows for quick removal if necessary, providing peace of mind for both caregivers and children.
Spring-Flex Lightweight Tubing
The included Spring-Flex tubing is both lightweight and flexible, accommodating a child’s movements during sleep. This feature helps maintain the mask’s position and prevents drag, ensuring uninterrupted therapy throughout the night.
Encouraging Therapy Acceptance
To assist in acclimating children to CPAP therapy, the Pixi™ system includes a parent guide with engaging activities and tips.
