Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a complex disorder marked by unstable breathing and serious clinical impact. It is especially common in certain high-risk groups, including patients with heart failure and those using chronic opioids, and is linked to worse health outcomes. Because of its prevalence and consequences, sleep medicine fellows and practicing clinicians need clear, standardized education on CSA. This webinar provides a concise review of the underlying pathophysiology and emphasizes a practical, evidence-based approach to the diagnosis and treatment of CSA in real-world clinical care.
