Abstract: The facial masks commercially available for noninvasive positive pressure ventilation therapy for children with clinical conditions of hypoventilation are limited by size and hardness. The present report describes a straightforward method of developing a nasal mask from a room-temperature vulcanizing silicone elastomer for daily contact with the nasal mucosa of babies during noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. The fabrication of the silicone mask with nasal tubes is based on maxillofacial prosthesis techniques, with retention with steel prongs and elastics
