The accuracy of pulse oximeters in measuring transient changes in oxygen saturation
(Sa02) may be affected by the oximeter time response. The aim of this study was to assess …

Objective. To assess the diagnostic ability of WristOx 3100 using its three different recording
settings in patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Methods. All …

Summary Between January 1994 and July 1997, 793 patients suspected of having sleep‐
disordered breathing had unattended overnight oximetry in their homes followed by …

Objective: To determine the value of home oximetry as a screening test in patients with
moderate to severe symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Design: Retrospective …

Overnight oximetry is widely used for screening for the sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome
(SAHS). The degree of desaturation at an apnea event is known to be affected by the degree …

The measurement of oxygenation during sleep has become a standard proceedure in the
assessment of hypoxemia in patients with various disorders. However, an accepted method …

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is a frequent clinical picture. It is characterized by
repetitive respiratory arrest with a consecutive decrease in arterial oxygen saturation (SaO …

Objectives Assess reliability of oxygen desaturation index (ODI) as an alternative parameter
to apnea hypopnea index (AHI) in screening patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea …

Objectives: The sensitivity and specificity of overnight monitoring of arterial oxygen
saturation (SaO2) using an oximeter were evaluated in elderly subjects who are being …

The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of continuous nocturnal oximetry to detect
sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) and to recognize nonapneic oxyhemoglobin desaturations …
