Loop Gain in Sleep Related Breathing Disorders

The AASM Sleep Medicine Fellowship Directors Council offers a free healthcare webinar lecture series for sleep medicine fellows and interested residents.
Loop gain is an engineering term which has been applied to control of breathing and has been shown to be important in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The loop gain concept helps us understand why some patients respond to efforts to stabilize control of breathing more than others. A personalized approach to treating sleep apnea may be viable in the future. (Recorded September 2023)
