Resources for Patients and Caregivers
Central sleep apnea is a disorder in which your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Central sleep apnea occurs because your brain doesn’t send proper signals to the muscles that control your breathing.
Cluster Number:
Wiki Number: 11-Central Sleep Apnea
Diagnosis: The brain accidentally does not have the lungs breathe in, losing fresh oxygen
US Patients:
World Patients:
Sex Ratio:
Age Onset:
Brain Area: pre-Botzinger complex – in the cerebellum which controls the regularity of breathing
Symptoms: Gaps in breaithing can damage or kill brain cells due to lack of fresh oxygen.
Progression:
Causes:
Medications:
Therapies: Bi-pap and C-pap breathing machines help the regularity of breathing.

- Analysis of vasoactive and oxidative stress indicators for evaluating the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure, and relation of vasoactive and oxidative stress indicators and cardiac function in obstructive sleep Apnea Syndrome patientsby Xiaohong Ni on May 3, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: CPAP treatment can effectively improve vascular activity and reduce the oxidative stress response in OSAS patients, and the combined detection of vasoactive factors and oxidative stress indicators is valuable for evaluating the efficacy of CPAP and is related to the cardiac function of patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Early detected SRBDs and subtypes in PLWH to begin treatment for the underlying cause could reduce the risk of sleepiness-related traffic accidents.
