Description:

Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) is an advanced therapy for central sleep apnea, especially effective in treating complex or treatment-emergent CSA and Cheyne-Stokes respiration. It continuously monitors the patient’s breathing and adjusts pressure support breath-by-breath to stabilize ventilation, delivering backup breaths when needed. ASV is typically used when CPAP or BPAP with backup rate fail, but it is contraindicated in patients with symptomatic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (≤45%) due to increased risk of adverse outcomes.

Treatment For:

AI generated Summary: Based on the single review provided, Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) appears to be an effective next-line therapy for central sleep apnea when CPAP or BPAP fail to control symptoms. However, it is important to note that ASV is contraindicated in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (≤45%).
