Popis: Abstract Historically, the oro-nasal mask has been the preferred interface to deliver Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) in critically ill patients. To overcome the problems related to air leaks and discomfort, Total Full-face masks have been designed. No study has comparatively evaluated the performance of the total Full-face masks available.The aim of this bench study was to evaluate the influence of three largely diffuse models of total Full -face masks on patient-ventilator synchrony and performance during pressure support ventilation. NPPV was applied to a mannequin, connected to an active test lung through three largely diffuse Full-face masks: Dimar Full-face mask (DFFM), Performax Full-face mask (RFFM) and Pulmodyne Full-face mask (PFFM).The performance analysis showed that the ΔPtrigger was significantly lower with PFFM (p
