Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Central Sleep Apnea (Diagnosis), Chronic Opioid Use
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Obstructive Sleep Apnea focused on measuring sleeping, opioid medications, positive airway pressure

Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) then BiLevel PAP
Bi-Level PAP then Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV)
Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) is a form of positive airway pressure (PAP) that is delivered based on the needs of the individual. ASV adjusts to the breathing events the individual is experiencing and provides enough PAP to resolve the breathing event. This is a crossover study, so all patients enter both treatment groups.
Bi-level pressure delivers two pressures, IPAP and EPAP. Both pressures are fixed and do not adjust based on the individuals breathing events. This is a crossover study, so all patients enter both treatment groups.
