Abstract

Complex sleep apnea (CxSA) is commonly seen during PAP therapy and it is often difficult to treat. Here we are reporting a case of positional complex sleep apnea in which CxSA was more prominent in supine position and it was treated with Bilevel PAP-S/T mode along with position therapy. This case highlights that postural therapy can be tried along with basic PAP modes in management of CxSA in setting of resource limitations before moving to costlier therapies like Adaptive servo ventilation.
