Abstract

The therapeutic options for respiratory disorders during sleep have increased greatly in recent years. In the past the only treatment possibilities available were continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation and bilevel pressure ventilation. Over the years other methods of ventilation have gradually been introduced, such as automatic CPAP, or auto-CPAP, average volume-assured pressure support (AVAPS), intelligent volume-assured pressure support (iVAPS), adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV), auto-bilevel ventilation (auto BiPAP) up to the most recent ones, auto-variable positive airway pressure (auto-VPAP or tri-level ventilation), or the TA-mode (automatic auto-adaptive).
