Bipap

Thanks, those were some of the ideas that i had. I didn't know if using something under the edges was a good idea, i'm still working on it.

Hi nursemicke, Thanks for your response. This is a peds case and he's certainly not on coumadin or other meds that would cause bruising. The bruise spots are directly related to the areas of the face where the mask touches. I just hate to see that, it looks like he's been beat up. Of course he was discharged from the hospital with them.On the bridge of his nose is more than a bruise, it's an open area that has to be cleaned and dressed.I've never seen this from bipap/cpap mask. Maybe the answer is that the mask was too tight in the hospital
