Randomized crossover trial of a pressure sensing visual feedback system to improve mask fitting in noninvasive ventilation

“…Pressure measurements were taken with an I‐Scan system (Tekscan Inc., South Boston, MA, USA) and a small, thin and flexible 4201‐pressure sensor (Tekscan Inc.). The system allows quantification of the pressure between surfaces for medical applications . Additionally, the system can display pressure in real‐ time as a coloured pressure mapping graphic on a monitor and thereby provide visual feedback of high‐ or low‐pressure areas (Fig.…”

The accuracy and precision of interface pressure measuring devices: A systematic review

“…5 However, the measured pressure applied to the limb in limb modelling and in-vivo trials of compression applications using both bandages and garments is frequently outside the expected range. [6][7][8] This discrepancy has been largely attributed to how compression is applied 6,9,10 or clinicians' skill in applying the compression bandage. [11][12][13] The ability of the measuring device to accurately quantify interface pressure, however, has not been considered as a factor in this discrepancy.…”
