Betty Sue,
Yes you can treat central apnea with NCPAP! NCPAP has the effect of stabalizing blood gases, thus preventing certain central events. This treatment works in a small percentage of patients with a central control of breathing problem, and is worth a try in this patient group. Although, the same is not said for Bilevel resp.augmentation. Bilevel will not have the same effect on this patient group.
Good Luck,
Mark.
