Hi there, for the last 2 weeks I have now at night got to go on a NIVI machine for around 7 hours. I have been put on this as my C02 is very high while i awaite a lung transplant.
I am getting use to it now although in the morning when i take it off i am sometimes left with red chaffing around the sides of my face where the mask has been. This even happens when i use the dressings also. This subsides slightly through the day after appling E45 cream.
I have checked with the clinic and my mask is not too tight. My question is does anyone else experience this and what cream do them use to help the red ring around the nose and cheeks.
Thank you all.
