Pulse oximetry is a well-established tool routinely used in many settings of modern medicine
to determine a patient's arterial oxygen saturation and heart rate. The decreasing size of …

Study objective Determine the utility of nocturnal oximetry as a screening tool for sleep
apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) compared with polysomnography (PSG). Design Cost …

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 …

Background Polysomnography (PSG) is treated as the gold standard for diagnosing
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, it is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and …

Objectives: We prospectively evaluate the spectral characteristics of nocturnal arterial
oxygen saturation (Sa o 2) and heart rate variability obtained from pulse oximetric recording …

Study objective The cost and inconvenience of polysomnography make simplified
techniques of screening desirable in the strategy of diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome …

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 …

The objective of this study was to examine the usefulness of home oximetry for the screening
of sleep disorders presenting with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). This was …

Objectives: To assess the clinical value of pulseoximetry in the diagnosis of sleep apnea
when satisfactory agreement with polysomnography is obtained. Methods: This was a …

Study objectives To compare the relative usefulness of the different indexes derived from
pulse oximetry in the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and to determine if a …
