Abstract

Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is chosen as the primary modality for most patients with obstructive sleep apnea due to its efficacy and safety. However, PAP therapy can cause potential side effects, including barotrauma, which in most cases is benign and manageable. Nevertheless, rare but serious complications, such as subcutaneous emphysema, may also occur. Here, I present a case of a middle-aged man with a history of tongue base tumor resection who developed subcutaneous emphysema in the neck following nasal PAP therapy. This case highlights the potential risk associated with previous surgical interventions and PAP therapy.
有舌底肿瘤切除史患者经鼻气道正压治疗后皮下肺气肿1例
由于其有效性和安全性,气道正压通气(PAP)治疗是大多数阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者的主要治疗方式。然而,PAP治疗可能引起潜在的副作用,包括气压创伤,在大多数情况下是良性和可控的。然而,罕见但严重的并发症,如皮下肺气肿,也可能发生。在此,我报告一位有舌底肿瘤切除史的中年男性,在接受鼻腔PAP治疗后出现颈部皮下肺气肿。该病例强调了与既往手术干预和PAP治疗相关的潜在风险。
