First-line treatment for the management of hyperventilation-related central sleep apnea includes:

A
Similar to OSA, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has customarily been the first-line therapy for patients with hyperventilation-related CSA. Patients who do not respond well to CPAP should receive a trial of adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) with the variable positive airway pressure adapt (VPAP Adapt).
