Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is currently the reference treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The use of a face mask, although sometimes necessary, is often associated with increased airway obstruction due to mandibular retrusion. We report a small group of patients in whom addition of a cervical collar to a face mask allowed correction of obstructive events.
持续气道正压通气(CPAP)目前是阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)的参考治疗方法。面罩的使用虽然有时是必要的,但由于下颌后缩,常与气道阻塞增加有关。我们报告了一小部分患者,他们通过在面罩上加用颈圈来纠正阻塞性事件。
