#78 - Central Sleep Apnea: Let Me Catch My Breath To Breathe
Throughout the podcast, we have shone a light on obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, but the lesser known (and less common central sleep apnea) has gotten little attention. In this episode, we will:
- Define central sleep apnea
- Differentiate central apnea from obstructive
- Understand the mechanisms that create central apnea
- Describe how obstructive and central apneas differ both physiologically as well as how they are differentiated diagnostically
- Contrast the forms of central sleep apnea seen in adults and children
- List the various types and causes of central sleep apnea
- Review the treatments of central sleep apnea
