Struggling with Central Sleep Apnea? TPNS May Be the Answer

This special episode is brought to you by Zoll Respicardia

In this episode of SleepTech Talk, we explore the newest breakthroughs in treating Central Sleep Apnea (CSA).
Our guest, Timothy Morgenthaler, MD, Professor and Vice Chair, Quality and Affordability at the Mayo Clinic, and past President of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), helps explain the updated AASM treatment guidelines and how Transvenous Phrenic Nerve Stimulation (TPNS) is now recognized as an effective therapy for CSA.

We also dive deep into the Remede implant, an FDA-approved TPNS device that stimulates the phrenic nerve to help patients breathe normally during sleep. Dr. Morgenthaler breaks down how it works, which patients may benefit most, and what the AASM’s new recommendations mean for clinicians and patients going forward.

⭐ Main topics we cover:

What’s new in the AASM guidelines for Central Sleep Apnea (2025 update)
Why TPNS is now an accepted therapy for CSA
How the Remede implant works and who it helps
Differences between obstructive, central, and complex sleep apnea
Real-world impact of the updated guidelines on patient care
Where TPNS fits among PAP therapy, ASV, oxygen, medications, and other treatments

Whether you’re a sleep clinician, technologist, or someone affected by sleep apnea, this episode provides a clear, practical breakdown of the latest evidence-based options for CSA.
