Vます　+　っぱなし

Used to show that a state is maintained while another action or event occurs, or simply that a state remains unchanged.

"まま": Used with verbs whose resulting state remains the same as the original state and does not change (e.g., 着(き)る,…)

"っぱなし": Used with verbs whose resulting state changes from the original state even when the action continues (e.g., しゃべる、走(はし)る、…)
