We introduce an open-access comprehensive sleep dataset, called ISRUC-Sleep. The data were obtained from human adults, including healthy subjects, subjects with sleep disorders, and subjects under the effect of sleep medication.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the impact of sleep deprivation on concentration and psychomotor performance in young physicians, comparing those who worked night shifts with those who did not.

Introduction: Adaptive servoventilation is a recent ventilatory mode initially designed to treat Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR). Recently, the efficacy of ASV has been discussed for the treatment of central sleep apnea (CSA) and treatment-emergent central sleep apnea (treatment-emergent CSA) where other forms of traditional positive airway pressure (PAP) may be insufficient.

Objectives: To compare the clinical impact of ASV with other forms of PAP in treating patients with treatment-emergent CSA, CSA and CSR.
