Central sleep apnea is not a single disorder; it can present as an isolated disorder or as a
part of other clinical syndromes. In some conditions, such as heart failure, central apneic …

Neurophysiologically, central apnea is due to a temporary failure in the pontomedullary
pacemaker generating breathing rhythm. As a polysomnographic finding, central apneas …

The transition from wake to sleep is accompanied by a host of physiologic changes, which
result in major alterations in respiratory control and may result in sleep-related breathing …

Central sleep apnea (CSA) describes a group of conditions in which cessations in air flow
occur without respiratory effort. In contrast, obstructive sleep apnea patients have ongoing …

Central sleep apnea (CSA) comprises a variety of breathing patterns and clinical entities.
They can be classified into 2 categories based on the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in …

Central sleep apnea is not a single disease but represents the final pathway in a large group
of heterogeneous disorders. Control of normal breathing during sleep relies upon finely …

Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a sleep-related breathing condition characterized by cessation
or an evident reduction in airflow lasting at least 10 seconds. Unlike obstructive apnea …

This paper focuses on the underlying mechanisms contributing to sleep-disordered
breathing. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing …

Central sleep apnea (CSA) is characterized by a lack of drive to breathe during sleep,
resulting in repetitive periods of insufficient ventilation and compromised gas exchange …

Central sleep apnea (CSA) is characterized by the periodic occurrence of apnea caused by
loss of ventilatory motor output. CSA is often discussed as a minor variant of obstructive …
