This study is being undertaken to collect data from Respironics Inc's BiPAP Auto Servo Ventilation 3 (autoSV3) and compare with data from Respironics, Inc's BiPAP autoSV2, to confirm that the algorithms in the BiPAP autoSV3 device can safely and effectively treat participants experiencing Complex Sleep Apneas (Comp SAS) no worse than its predecessor, the BiPAP auto Servo ventilation 2 (autoSV2) device. This will be determined using a comparative, randomized design with the participants blinded to the therapy. Additionally, attempts will be made to blind the central scorer(s) with respect to which device is in use.
This study was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic performance of a new auto Servo Ventilation device (Philips Respironics autoSV Advanced) for the treatment of complex central sleep apnea (CompSA). The features of autoSV Advanced include an automatic expiratory pressure (EPAP) adjustment, an advanced algorithm for distinguishing open versus obstructed airway apnea, a modified auto backup rate which is proportional to subject's baseline breathing rate, and a variable inspiratory support. Our primary aim was to compare the performance of the advanced servo-ventilator (BiPAP autoSV Advanced) with conventional servo-ventilator (BiPAP autoSV) in treating central sleep apnea (CSA). Study Design: A prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. Setting: Five sleep laboratories in the United States. Participants: Thirty-seven participants were included.

Apnea Hypopnea Index
The number of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep. Apneas are the cessation of airflow at the nostrils and mouth for at least 10 seconds as determined using nasal-oral thermistor or device flow. Hypopneas is shallow breathing in which the air flow in and out of the airway is significantly reduced as detected by nasal pressure or device flow - often associated with oxygen desaturation of 4% or EEG arousal. A central sleep scorer was utilized to review of the overnight PSGs and count the number of apneas and hyopneas per hour. The index is the average number for apneas+hyopneas per hour.
Time frame: 2 nights
Apnea Hypopnea Index- REM and NREM
The number of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep while in REM (rapid eye movement) and in NREM (non-rapid eye movement) A central sleep scorer was utilized to review of the overnight PSGs and count the number of apneas and hyopneas per hour while in REM vs. NREM.
Time frame: 2 nights
Central Apnea Index
The number of central apneas divided by the number of hours of sleep. Central apneas are the cessation of airflow at the nostrils and mouth for at least 10 seconds that is associated with the absence of inspiratory effort. A central sleep scorer was utilized to review of the overnight PSGs and count the number of central apneas per hour.
Time frame: 2 nights
Obstructive Apnea Index
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea and is caused by complete or partial obstructions of the upper airway. A central sleep scorer was utilized to review of the overnight PSGs and count the number of obstructive apneas per hour.
Time frame: 2 nights
Mixed Apnea Index
Mixed sleep apnea is a combination of both obstructive and central sleep apnea symptoms A central sleep scorer was utilized to review of the overnight PSGs and count the number of mixed apneas per hour.
Time frame: 2 nights
Hypopnea Index
Hypopneas are characterized by shallow breathing in which the air flow in and out of the airway is significantly reduced as detected by nasal pressure or device flow - often associated with oxygen desaturation of 4% or EEG arousal. A central sleep scorer was utilized to review of the overnight PSGs and count the number of hyopneas per hour.
Time frame: 2 nights
Sleep Onset Latency
Sleep onset latency is the length of time that it takes to accomplish the transition from full wakefulness to sleep, normally to the lightest of the non-REM sleep stages. This found by reviewing the number of minutes in the PSG it took from lights off until the lightest non-REM sleep.
Time frame: 2 nights
Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Onset Latency
Rapid eye movement latency is the time from the sleep onset to the first epoch of REM sleep; therefore, it depends on the patient's sleep latency.
Time frame: 2 nights
Wake After Sleep Onset
Wake after sleep onset refers to periods of wakefulness occurring after defined sleep onset. This was calculated by adding the total number of minutes the participant was awake after sleep onset.
Time frame: 2 nights
Total Sleep Time
Total sleep time is the total time the participant was asleep after sleep onset. This is calculated by adding the total number of minutes the participant was asleep during the night after sleep onset.
Time frame: 2 nights
Sleep Efficiency
Sleep efficiency is a measure of how much a participant slept over the night. This is calculated by comparing the total sleep time and the total recording time \* 100.
Time frame: 2 nights
Stages N1,N2,N3 (NREM), and REM (R) Sleep (in Minutes)REM, NREM and Total Sleep Time.
These measures are the amount of time patients spent in each stage of sleep in minutes.
Time frame: 2 nights
Wake (W), Stages N1,N2,N3 (NREM), and REM (R) Sleep (% TST)
Time frame: 2 nights
Arousal Index [Total, Apnea Hypopnea (AH)-Related, Periodic Limb Movement (PLM)-Related, 'Spontaneous']
The number of arousals and awakenings is registered in the study, and reported as a total number and as a frequency per hour of sleep, which is referred to as an index. The higher the arousal index, the more tired you are likely to feel, though people vary in their tolerance of sleep disruptions.
Time frame: 2 nights
Nocturnal Oxygenation (Measured by Continuous Pulse Oximetry During Sleep Study)
Measure of oxygen saturation as measured by a pulse oximetry over the course of the night.
Time frame: 2 nights
Apnea Hypopnea Index (REM, NREM and TST) Using Modified Hypopnea Rule.
This is the measure of the Apnea Hypopnea Index as measured by using a modified hypopnea rule. The modified hypopnea rule is a scoring change when AHI changes due to central vs obstructive apneas.
Time frame: 2 nights
Apnea Hypopnea Index(REM, NREM and TST) During Epochs for Which Leak is Determined to Exist Within Acceptable Limits.
The AHI during epochs for which leak is determined to exist within acceptable limits occurs is the same calculation during AHI is normally calculated just in a 30 second (epoch) time period.
Time frame: 2 nights
