2. Positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_airway_pressure

   Some full-face masks "float" on the face like a hover-craft, with thin, soft, flexible "curtains" ensuring less skin abrasion, and the possibility of coughing and yawning. Some people may find wearing a CPAP mask uncomfortable or constricting: eyeglass wearers and bearded men may prefer the nasal-pillow type of mask.

3. Continuous positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

   Nasal prongs are placed directly in the person's nostrils. A nasal mask is a small mask that covers the nose. There are also nasal pillow masks which have a cushion at the base of the nostrils, and are considered the least invasive option. [16] Frequently, nasal CPAP is used for infants, although this use is controversial.

4. Elastomeric respirator - Wikipedia

   Elastomeric masks must be individually fit-tested and inspected for full efficacy. [2] They may be somewhat easier to fit than filtering facepiece respirators. Older mask designs were designed only to fit young adult men of average weight and a narrow range of ethnicities; newer ones use updated anthropometry and fit more people. [5]

5. Sleep apnea - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea

   The person typically wears a plastic facial mask, which is connected by a flexible tube to a small bedside CPAP machine. [67] Although CPAP therapy is effective in reducing apneas and less expensive than other treatments, some people find it uncomfortable. Some complain of feeling trapped, having chest discomfort, and skin or nose irritation.

6. Bag valve mask - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag_valve_mask

   Bag valve masks come in different sizes to fit infants, children, and adults. The face mask size may be independent of the bag size; for example, a single pediatric-sized bag might be used with different masks for multiple face sizes, or a pediatric mask might be used with an adult bag for patients with small faces.
