A 36-year-old woman with myotonic dystrophy presented with generalized weakness and daytime somnolence. Arterial blood gas analysis revealed significant hypoxemia and hypercapnia, and a polysomnogram revealed additional oxygen desaturation during sleep. For nocturnal ventilatory assistance, the patient received positive-pressure ventilation via a nasal mask. This mode of ventilation produced marked improvement in the patient's nocturnal hypoxemia.
