Abstract
|
|
|
|
Although a nasal mask is a standard interface for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), severe mouth breathing during sleep often leads to the use of a full face mask which covers the nose and mouth. Herein, we present a case of a patient with uncontrolled severe OSA with CPAP and a full face mask, who subsequently shows dramatic improvement of OSA with a nasal mask and lower CPAP pressure.
