ASV Results
FIG. 25: The responses to CPAP in the non-responders from the study described in the previous Figure[18] were impressive. Although the trial reinforced CPAP as an unreliable treatment for Op-CSA, all 20 patients (including the CPAP early, late, and non-responders) responded very well to ASV therapy, and their central-apnea index (CAI) was eliminated. It should be noted, however, that these patients demonstrated more cluster-type CSA.
