Altitude-Associated Central Apnea in Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy

Sleep Science
Introduction At high altitudes, hypobaric hypoxia leads to central apneas in both healthy adults and patients with obstructive sleep apnea. This condition correlates with intermittent desaturation and disruption of sleep.
