POM Basics

What is the POM?

The Procedural Oxygen Mask (POM) is the first mask of its kind to offer oral and nasal membrane technology that allows for the entry of scopes, tubes, or probes. The dual membrane ports provide access during conscious sedation cases while maximizing the oxygen percentage to the patient and measuring capnography. The POM would most commonly be described as an endoscopy oxygen mask used for endoscopic procedures. The POM can provide a Fi02 delivery rate of 85% or greater!

How does the POM work?

The Procedural Oxygen Mask can be used with most endoscopes and helps prevent hypoxic episodes and procedural interruptions. To use the POM, the user selects the nasal or oral port, attaches a non-rebreather adapter to the oxygen line, and secures it. The POM is then placed on the patient's face, secured with a nose clip and elastic band, and the patient is pre-oxygenated. The oxygen flow rate is adjusted according to the patient's needs, and vitals are continuously monitored. After the procedure, the mask is used until the patient is fully awake and has acceptable oxygen saturation. Watch the video below for detailed instructions:

What is the POM Used For?

The POM can be used as a procedural “endoscopy mask” or a multi-functional mask. Many different procedures are covered under the term “endoscopic procedure.” The most common procedures are EGD, EUS, and ERCP which utilize the oral port for access. The POM was designed to be utilized for each of these procedures while also providing maximum oxygen flow to the patient. The POM can also be utilized for conscious sedation cases, fiber-optic intubation, TEEs, as well as bronchoscopies which use the nasal port.

Why POM?

The POM enhances patient safety, offers two styles in one single device, and improves adaptability with its two entry points. It allows for an unobstructed 360 degree view behind the mask. Some other benefits include optimizing oxygen concentration during conscious sedation, measuring capnography, allowing for unobstructed access to the patient, barrier protection, and reducing interruption during procedures.

What type of patient would benefit from The POM?

The Procedural Oxygen Mask (POM) is designed to provide improved oxygen delivery for patients with a variety of respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, such as COPD, asthma, obesity, high BMI, obstructive sleep apnea, and post-COVID lung dysfunction. The POM has undergone rigorous independent lab testing and is proven to be effective for patients with these maladies and breathing issues.

What clinical studies have been performed?

Several clinical studies have been performed on the POM and can be found on our resources.
