1.4 Adverse effects
The most common adverse effects during CPAP therapies are face mask or helmet or gas flow/pressure
related. Some paents may experience claustrophobia due to the mask, nasal congeson, rhinis or a
runny nose. To minimise these adverse effects ensure that;
•
Correct face mask size is used – if the mask is too small / large it may result in discomfort and air
leaks.
•
Mask is not overghtened – may result in mask discomfort and damage to the skin.
•
Heated humidified air is used via a heater humidifier.
Helmet CPAP is predisposed to CO

rebreathing and could increase the paents' venlator asynchrony.
In addion to the adverse effects stated above, Paediatric CPAP may result in congeson, dry mouth, lip
bleeds or nosebleeds. Masks may cause irritaon or redness of the skin. Using the correct mask size
and padding can minimise pressure sores from ght contact with skin.
BUBBLE-PAP may also cause nosebleeds; humidificaon can oGen help with these symptoms. Again,
heated humidified air can help to prevent nosebleeds from occurring.
Adverse effects when using HFOT can include skin irritaon, skin breakdown and nasal dryness. It is
important to be aware that HFOT can lead to suppression of breathing, oxygen toxicity and is a fire
hazard at high oxygen concentraons.
