Overview

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine published a diagnostic manual guidelines.[1][2]

Diagnosis Criteria

DSM-V Diagnostic Criteria for Central Sleep Apnea[3]

A. Evidence by polysomnography of five or more central apneas per hour of sleep.

AND

B. The disorder is not better explained by another current sleep disorder.

Specify whether:

  • Idiopathic central sleep apnea: Characterized by repeated episodes of apneas and hypopneas during sleep caused by variability in respiratory effort but without evidence of airway obstruction.
  • Cheyne-Stokes breathing: A pattern of periodic crescendo-decrescendo variation in tidal volume that results in central apneas and hypopneas at a frequency of at least five events per hour, accompanied by frequent arousal.
  • Central sleep apnea comorbid with opioid use: The pathogenesis of this subtype is attributed to the effects of opioids on the respiratory rhythm generators in the medulla as well as the differential effects on hypoxic versus hypercapnic respiratory drive.

Specify current severity:

Severity of central sleep apnea is graded according to the frequency of the breathing disturbances as well as the extent of associated oxygen desaturation and sleep fragmentation that occur as a consequence of repetitive respiratory disturbances.
