Updated Guidelines from AASM for the Treatment of Central Sleep Apnea Syndromes.

摘要

Central sleep apnea syndromes are characterized by sleep-disordered breathing associated with absent or diminished respiratory effort. Symptoms include excessive daytime sleepiness, frequent waking during the night, or both. This practice parameter reviews available data on the treatment of central sleep apnea syndromes in adults. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) includes levels of recommendations (standard or option) based on the overall quality of evidence (high, moderate, low, or very low).
