The OxyMask (Southmedic Inc, Canada) is a new face mask for oxygen delivery that uses a small 'diffuser' to concentrate and direct oxygen toward the mouth and nose. The authors hypothesized that this unique design would enable the OxyMask to deliver oxygen more efficiently than a Venturi mask (Hudson RCI, USA) in patients with chronic hypoxemia.
