Positional Central Sleep Apnea

2014
In contrast to obstructive sleep-disordered breathing, much less is known about positional dependency in central sleep apnea. However, there is interesting preliminary evidence that positional dependency is also present in central sleep apnea, type Cheyne-Stokes breathing (CSA/CSB), possibly even with an estimated prevalence of up to 50 %.

Sleep and Breathing, 2012
Positional obstructive sleep apnoea (POSA), defined as a supine apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) twice or more as compared to the AHI in the other positions, occurs in 56 % of obstructive sleep apnoea patients. Positional therapy (PT) is one of several available treatment options for these patients.
