Adaptive servo ventilation (ASV) is a type of positive airway pressure therapy used to treat sleep-related breathing disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. ASV devices continuously monitor a patient's breathing patterns and adjust the air pressure delivered based on the individual's needs. This personalized approach helps to maintain a stable breathing pattern during sleep, reducing the frequency of apnea events and improving overall sleep quality. ASV is often recommended for patients who have not responded well to traditional CPAP therapy or who have a combination of obstructive and central sleep apnea.
