Abstract
We present a case of a patient with uncorrected Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) despite good CPAP compliance with an oronasal mask who was referred to our tertiary care multidisciplinary sleep unit. We present here our systematic and comprehensive re-evaluation of the case, accompanied by an image of the polysomnography recordings that exemplify each step in the process, which concludes with a change to nasal CPAP and a transition to BPAP treatment.
