Mouth taping question
Hi All,
After trying everything else suggested on this forum to stop my mouth dropping open with a full face mask only mouth taping works.
A lot of doctors say not to do this due to the risk of aspirating vomit. However, with a full face mask, wouldn't I aspirate vomit anyway? The machine won't shut off and would force vomit down my throat due to the air pressure so far as I can tell. As such I don't see any real difference in risk between wearing a full face mask and mouth taping with a full face mask.
What are your thoughts? Thanks.
