Résumé

Nasal mask (NM) and oronasal masks (OM) can be used to provide noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Recent studies suggested that OM is the most used interface and that there is no difference in efficacy or in tolerance between OM and NM for chronic use. However, studies focusing on video laryngoscopy underlined the impact of OM in residual upper airway obstruction (UAO) under NIV. We sought to assess the real-life practice of switching from OM to NM when UAO events persist despite high EPAP levels.
