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

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Background Breathing is controlled by a negative-feedback system in which an increase in
the partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide stimulates breathing and a decrease inhibits it …

Background: CO 2 inhalation reduces central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with congestive
heart failure (CHF) and idiopathic CSA. CO 2 is also a stimulus for cortical arousal, which …

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 …

Purpose The purpose of this article is to review the recent literature on central apnea. Sleep
disordered breathing (SDB) is characterized by apneas (cessation in breathing), and …

To understand the pathogenesis of central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with congestive
heart failure (CHF), we measured the end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PetCO2) during …
