I agree that in some situations central apnea can be successfully treated with PAP. However, if I am reading the numbers correctly this particular case does not represent a level of apnea which would require treatment. Normal sleepers experience some apnea, particularly central during sleep stage transition and unless this person slept only 1-2 hours during the diagnostic study I would consider 8 central apneas within normal limits.
