adaptive servo-ventilation
Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) is a specialized therapy for certain types of sleep apnea and breathing disorders during sleep. It is a form of positive airway pressure that automatically adjusts its support in real-time based on your breathing patterns. ASV detects when your breathing becomes irregular or shallow and responds by providing the right amount of airflow to maintain steady, consistent breathing. This helps improve sleep quality, reduces symptoms like snoring or daytime fatigue, and supports proper oxygen levels. ASV is typically used for complex or central sleep apnea and is delivered through a comfortable mask during sleep.
