Einleitung
Hinter der Bezeichnung „zentrale Schlafapnoe” verbergen sich verschiedene Syndrome unterschiedlicher Genese und damit auch unterschiedlicher klinischer Wertigkeit und Therapiebedürftigkeit. Diese CME-Fortbildung zur zentralen Schlafapnoe basiert auf einem Übersichtsartikel der Arbeitsgruppe Pathophysiologie Schlaf/Atmung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Schlafforschung und Schlafmedizin (DGSM) [1]. Sie erklärt das aktuelle Klassifikationsschema, zeigt die pathophysiologischen Hintergründe auf, nimmt Stellung zur klinischen Relevanz der Syndrome und gibt einen Überblick über die differenzialdiagnostischen und therapeutischen Möglichkeiten beim Erwachsenen und bei Kindern und Jugendlichen.
