Treatment-emergent central sleep apnea (TE-CSA) is a condition in which central sleep apnea (CSA) occurs in patients treated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a diagnostic part of the sleep test, while the obstructive apnea is controlled during the treatment process. TE-CSA is seen in approximately 5-10% of OSA patients. The prevalence of TE-CSA is higher in patients with cardiac comorbidities such as heart failure. In patients with TE-CSA, the use of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy and treatment compliance were found to be poor compared to patients with classical OSA, unless appropriate therapy was chosen. Recognition and assessment of the TE-CSA course and initiation of targeted management for TE-CSA may improve symptom control and quality of life in patients with sleep-disordered breathing.
