disorders associated with CSA
2. Identify PSG respiratory patterns associated with CSA
pathologies
3. List algorithms for advanced therapy devices designed
to treat central breathing pathologies and patterns
3. Match patient pathologies with PAP therapy algorithms
4. Define “successful treatment”

What makes us breathe?
The stimulus to breathe
awake and asleep

Respiratory Physiology During Sleep
•
•
•
•
Stimulus to breathe not the same as awake
Response to hypercarbia & hypoxemia blunted
Physiology varies NREM vs REM
Cardiovascular changes effect gas delivery and
exchange
• Respiratory and cardiovascular disease disrupt
normal physiology
• Some pathologic breathing patterns come and
go throughout the sleep period.
7
Normal Awake Stimulus to Breathe
• Hypercapnia
– PaCO2 changes quickly
– HCO3 changes slowly
– Both affect the pH of the blood
• Hypoxia
– SaO2 and PaO2
• Carotid and aortic bodies
• Stretch, “J”, and other receptors

* Transitional sleep refers to the period of sleep between wakefulness and continuous stage I sleep or established stage II sleep.
** The metabolic regulation during the transition between sleep and wake is affected by an upward shift in pCO2 set point and the
gain of the pCO2 response.

What is “Central Sleep Apnea”
Definition(s)
Central Sleep Apnea
• AASM central apnea events
• Medicare complex sleep apnea definition
– In some descriptions uses “periodic breathing” as
synonymous with CSA
• Medicare Central Sleep Apnea and Central Apnea

Periodic Breathing
• Characteristics: waxing and waning breathing pattern
• Length is based on disease process causing the
breathing pattern
– Longer events for patients in heart failure1 (picture A)
─ 50-70 second events of CSR then followed by normal
respiration (waxing and waning of respiration) in patients
with heart failure1
– Shorter events in those at altitude/neurological
disorders/renal failure1 (picture B)
─ 20 – 40 seconds on length1

Patient Follow-up
Titration is just the beginning of successful
therapy
• Continuing clinical assessment is essential for:
– Compliance and efficacy
– Achieving long term benefits, lower morbidity/mortality
• Complex sleep apnea patient may be the most
challenging to follow up because they have multiple,
changing pathologies requiring therapy
– Achieving optimal therapy and meeting patient
comfort needs can be a challenge that requires
ongoing assessment of therapy device downloads
and interviews with the patient

physiology will change during the first

Adaptive Servoventilation (ASV) in Patients with
Sleep Disordered Breathing Associated with
Chronic Opioid Medications for Non-Malignant
Pain, Robert J. Farney, M.D; J Clin Sleep Med. 2008 August 15; 4(4):
311–319.
– Retrospective study
• Conclusions:“Due to residual respiratory events and
hypoxemia, ASV was considered insufficient therapy
in these patients
• Persistence of obstructive events could be due to
suboptimal pressure settings (end expiratory and/or
maximal inspiratory). Residual central events could be
related to fundamental differences in the pathophysiology
of CSR compared to opioid induced breathing
disturbances.”

Pearls
Complex physiology and
pathology makes many
patients difficult to treat.
They are a moving target.
Many times, making them
BETTER THAN THEY
WERE on the titration
night IS a success!
49
In contrast to
uncomplicated OSA
patients titrated on
CPAP, the titration
doesn’t END on the
titration night. It is just
the beginning!
