Infecctive trigger in spontaneous mode in NMD can look very similar to central sleep apnea with high AHI. You can avoid this by either increase trigger sensitivity (NIV initial settings) or switch to BPAP-ST mode or home mechanical ventilators (respiratory assist devices vs home mechanical ventilators, AirCurve 10 different modes available).
