title: [Skin care during non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in nursing home residents].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to clarify whether melamine form has efficacy in preventing skin care during non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in nursing home residents. The study sample comprised 12 people who received non-invasive positive pressure ventilation at a nursing home in Osaka, Japan. Results showed that residents using melamine form had no significant differences in facial shape, though sebum volume, keratinous moisture, impressions, and skin problems were all significantly altered.
