A 75-year-old man with obstructive sleep apnea and secondary right heart failure was started on nasal CPAP therapy. Shortly thereafter he experienced massive life-threatening epistaxis requiring nasal packing and hospitalization. The epistaxis was thought to be due to the drying effect of nasal CPAP.
一名患有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停和继发性右心衰竭的75岁男性开始接受鼻持续气道正压通气(CPAP)治疗。此后不久,他出现了大量危及生命的鼻出血,需要进行鼻腔填塞并住院治疗。鼻出血被认为是由于鼻CPAP的干燥作用所致。
