(Hypocapnic) CSA with HCSR
FIG. 11: This Figure shows a classic example of hypocapnic CSA with CSR. In the chest and abdomen there is clearly zero airflow. The small peaks in A–B have a frequency different from the peaks in B–D (which are the heartbeat, related to heart rate). There is a long apnea crescendo change in tidal volume (A–B) and a very long cycle length (A–C) of 97 sec, indicating very low cardiac output.
These examples emphasize that ASV must be able to treat OSA, CSA, and periodic breathing with a wide range of cycle lengths.
