We present a case of a patient with dissociative identity disorder and symptomatic sleep apnea who was treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). CPAP use depended upon which personality the patient exhibited but apnea reduction did not. This case illustrates in one individual how personality can positively or negatively affect CPAP adherence.
我们报告了一例分离性身份障碍伴症状性睡眠呼吸暂停患者,该患者接受了持续气道正压通气(CPAP)治疗。CPAP 的使用取决于患者表现出的人格,但并未减少呼吸暂停。本病例在一个个体中说明了人格如何积极或消极地影响 CPAP 依从性。
