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 …

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

Only a limited number of studies dealing with the epidemiology and therapy of central sleep
apnea syndrome (CA) are available. The treatment strategies are poorly defined and not …

The critical issue in considering the diagnosis and management of CSA is to determine the
physiologic process underlying the disorder. CSA includes a pathophysiologically and …

Purpose Sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS) is a relatively common, potentially fatal, disorder.
Patients with SAS exhibit repetitive, often prolonged episodes of apnoea during sleep, with …

Central sleep apnoea (CSA) is characterised by recurrent apnoeas during sleep with no
associated respiratory effort. It mostly results from withdrawal of the wakefulness drive in …

Objective: To determine whether central sleep apnea (CSA) occurring during continuous
positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) …

Study Objectives: We hypothesized that the non-benzodiazepine hypnotic zolpidem would
improve idiopathic central sleep apnea (ICSA) by enhancing sleep stability, resulting in …

Central sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by apneic episodes during sleep with no
associated ventilatory effort. More commonly than not these apneas are seen in patients …

Central apnea is caused by temporary failure in the pontomedullary pacemaker generating
breathing rhythm. This results in the loss of ventilatory effort, and if it lasts 10 seconds or …
