About

The video explains complications of non-invasive ventilation in critically ill children. It describes issues like skin breakdown, gastric distension, and aspiration risks with different mask types. Solutions include alternating masks and using nasogastric tubes for venting air. Humidification reduces dryness concerns. Air leaks can be managed with chinstraps or adjusting flows. Long-term use may affect facial development in young children.
