Is Adaptive Servo-Ventilation Therapeutically More Effective Than Continuous Positive Airway Pressure In Treating Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome?


The purpose of this study is to determine whether adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) or
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is better at treating complex sleep apnea over
time.


Between 3 and 19% of patients with clinical and polysomnographic features of obstructive
sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) develop a high-frequency of central apneas and/or disruptive
Cheyne-Stokes respiratory syndrome after application of continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP), a pattern called the complex sleep apnea syndrome (CompSAS). The trial seeks to
determine the efficacy of the ASV vs. CPAP modes for the treatment of CompSAS over time.
Baseline clinical and laboratory data will be collected, patients will be randomized to one
of the two treatments. Overall study participation is approximately 3 months.
