It can be primary
By inducing a renal metabolic acidosis and other complex effects ( 7 ), CA inhibitors (CAIs) such as acetazolamide augment ventilation, which dampens
Abstract Background: Therapy options for OSA and central sleep apnea (CSA) are limited, thus many patients remain untreated
A combination of snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and
While there were no significant differences in AHI reduction between the obstructive or central sleep
Clinically, acetazolamide is sometimes used for CSA; however, given overlapping pathophysiologic properties of OSA and CSA, we hypothesized that acetazolamide is equally effective for both types
Conclusions: Acetazolamide improves the apnea-hypopnea index and several sleep metrics in central sleep apnea
The goal of this study is to test if acetazolamide can improve sleep apnea and cardiovascular health in young adults with OSA (18-50 years old), and how it does that
Thus, in the official practice guidelines from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine concerning treatment of sleep apnea, acetazolamide plays Background Metabolic alkalosis may lead to respiratory inhibition and increased need for ventilatory support or prolongation of weaning from ventilation for patients with chronic respiratory disease
Diamox (acetazolamide) is a medication used most commonly to treat glaucoma, epilepsy, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension , a condition of increased pressure around your brain without a known cause
Prior reviews focused on specific subtypes of sleep apnea, study designs, and languages, thus including few studies (typically ≤3) limiting insights
Aim: To investigate the treatment effect of acetazolamide in patients with moderate OSA and obesity

When this occurs, it is referred to as treatment-emergent CSA
They are designed to give readers a concise list of the clinical practice recommendations in each guideline
