Abstract

AbstractTreatment emergent central sleep apnea (CSA)  is defined as the persistence or emergence of central apneas and hypopneas during the CPAP titration for the treatment of OSA. It is a main cause for no improvement  with CPAP therapy in an OSA patient. Here we report a case of treatment emergent CSA who presented initially  with obstructive sleep apnea  and later he developed central apnea with CPAP therapy.
