The rate of pulse oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) decrease was measured as the change in the percentage of SpO2 per second after obstructive apnea and was expressed as the oxygen desaturation rate (ODR).ResultsA total of 101 patients with severe OSAS were enrolled in this study and were further...
This clinical report describes a 3.5-year-old boy suffering from chronic daytime fatigue, accumulated snoring and dramatically appearing apnea during sleep. Oxycardiorespirography revealed a breathing pattern similar to repetitive obstructive apnea and an oxygen saturation periodically dropping to 80&percnt...
Hypopnea was defined as: (i) a reduction in the airflow signal amplitude of at least 50% compared to baseline; and (ii) associated with oxygen desaturation of hemoglo- bin equal to or greater than 4% or with an arousal. Obstructive AHI was the mean number of obstructive and mixed ...
Apnea was defined as a >90% reduction of airflow from baseline for >10 s; hypopnea as a >30% reduction in airflow with ≥4% O2 desaturation; apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) as the number of apnea and hypopnea episodes/h of sleep. AHI >5/h defined SDB. If the recording showed more...
Oxygen desaturation index was used as a marker of obstructive sleep apnea severity. The link between this marker and premature aging changed based on the generation of clock used to calculate epigenetic age. SAN DIEGO — A heightened oxygen desaturation index was significantly linked to epigenetic ag...
20 Secondary outcomes included the following polysomnography measures of OSA severity and sleep quality: the percentage of participants with AHI less than 10, the apnea index, 3% and 4% oxygen desaturation indices, the lowest oxygen saturation in sleep, percentage of sleep time with oxygen ...
NPPE in this case was caused by sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) as relatively rare cause. A 65-year-old female presented to emergency department due to disturbance of consciousness during sleep. This patient had desaturation requiring oxygen administration. Computed tomography showed pulmonary edema in ...
Effects of supplemental oxygen during activity in patients with advanced COPD without severe resting hypoxemia. COPD daily living activity exercise-induced hypoxemia exercise-induced dyspnea left ventricle performance oxygen therapyTo assess oxygen desaturation during ... Enrique C.

Actually, we instructed the parents on the use of mask oxygenation as a response to sudden apnea and desaturation before the patients’ discharge. However, no sudden deterioration of the general condition was actually observed at home, and there was no opportunity for resuscitation by the parents....
She had no known risk factors for sleep apnea. Apneas, hypopneas and oxygen desaturations were prominent during REM sleep. Nocturnal noninvasive positive pressure ventilation has been recommended but she refused to use it. Alglucosidase-alpha was started. Although there were no significant ...
