We report a case of a 73-year-old woman with chronic respiratory failure in association with syringohydromyelia and sleep apnea. She was initially intubated and mechanically ventilated. Weaning from the ventilator was only successful after nasal intermittent positive airway pressure therapy was started. A normalization of arterial blood gas exchange could be achieved.
我们报告一例73岁女性患者，患有与脊髓空洞症和睡眠呼吸暂停相关的慢性呼吸衰竭。她最初接受了气管插管和机械通气。仅在开始鼻间歇正压通气治疗后，脱机才取得成功。动脉血气交换得以恢复正常。
