Central Apneas, Cheyne Stokes and Periodic Breathing?

Post by AEmedic » Sun Nov 30, 2014 6:26 pm

I want to defer to some of the more experienced members...

I have what looks like bouts of Central Apneas, Cheyne Stokes and Periodic Breathing. Most of my nights are under a 5 AHI and most of the events that I have are Clear Airway apneas. Occasionally my AHI is over or at least near 10.

Here are a number of SH screen shots:

I asked a similar question below - my event charts look like yours - mostly CA's. Link below with some good information - I don't know enough to be able to decipher it yet.

Thank you! I have seen Complex SA mentioned before, it looks like a potential fit. I had a few Central Apneas during my sleep study, but there were very few...

That looks similar to some of my data as well. I am getting excellent result using ASV.
