Overview 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. This condition is different from obstructive sleep apnea, in which you can't breathe normally because of upper airway obstruction. Central sleep apnea is less common than obstructive sleep apnea.

- Central airway obstruction (CAO) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition that can be due to a number of malignant and benign processes. A low threshold of suspicion for CAO is critical so that it can be recognized and managed promptly.

- Example: Solve the differential equation: dy/dx = y + 1, y(0) = 1 The general solution is: y = c*e^x - 1 for any real constant c. The particular solution you are interested in is the one where y(0) = 1, that is, c*e^0 - 1 = 1, that is, c = 2, that is: y = 2*e^x - 1 - Doctor Rob, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

Central sleep apnea Central sleep apnea. Central sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing stops over and over during sleep. Central sleep apnea results when the brain temporarily stops sending signals to the muscles that control breathing. The condition often occurs in people who have certain medical problems.

Sleep Apnea Central sleep apnea causes. Like obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea is more common in males and people over the age of 65. However, unlike obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea is often associated with serious illness, such as heart disease, stroke, neurological disease, or spinal or brainstem injury.

Sleep Apnea Sleep apnea is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition that is far more common than generally understood. First described in 1965, sleep apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. It owes its name to the Greek word, apnea, meaning, want of breath..

Central Sleep Apnea Syndromes Predominant central apnea is uncommon and is seen in less than 10% of patients presenting for PSG. In the general population, the prevalence of central sleep apnea is less than 1%. CSB-CSA has been reported in 25-40% of patients with heart failure and in 10% of patients who have had a stroke.

Sleep Disorders: Hypersomnia 1 The three types of sleep apnea are central apnea, obstructive apnea, and a mixture of central and obstructive apnea.  Central sleep apnea is caused by a failure of the brain to activate the muscles of breathing during sleep.

Sleep Apnea Health Center Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person's breathing is interrupted during sleep. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times. This means the brain-- and the rest of the body -- may not get enough oxygen. There are two types of sleep apnea:

Sleep Apnea Information for Individuals Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by a blockage of the airway, usually when the soft tissue in the rear of the throat collapses and closes during sleep. In central sleep apnea, the airway is not blocked but the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe.

- Definition of Sleep apnea. Sleep apnea: The temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, often resulting in daytime sleepiness. The most common form of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea.

Sleep Apnea Sleep apnea refers to non-breathing episodes during sleep, occurring as frequently as several hundred times per night. Loud, irregular snoring occurs as the person attempts to breathe at the end of each episode. Although the individual may have had a full night's sleep, he or she still feels tired during the day.

Sleep Apnea Central sleep apnea usually occurs in adults with other medical problems. In infants, it usually occurs with prematurity or other congenital disorders. In both patient groups it is usually suspected by the primary care doctor. Central sleep apnea can be diagnosed with a sleep study or overnight monitoring while the patient is in the hospital.
