Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome
(OSAHS) have long been considered predominantly male-related conditions. The clinical …

Overnight pulse oximetry allows the relatively non‐invasive estimation of peripheral blood
haemoglobin oxygen saturations (SpO2), and forms part of the typical polysomnogram …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious medical condition with a high prevalence,
although diagnosis remains a challenge. Existing home sleep tests may provide acceptable …

Obstructive sleep apnea has historically been considered a male disease. Although most
studies have shown male predominance, obstructive sleep apnea is highly prevalent in …

Pulse oximetry is routinely used to non-invasively monitor oxygen saturation levels. A low
oxygen level in the blood means low oxygen in the tissues, which can ultimately lead to …

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first-line treatment for the majority of
patients affected by obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA). However, long-term …

Several factors influence respiratory event duration during sleep. In general, women have
shorter respiratory events compared to men as it appears that women have a more reactive …

Abstract Study Objectives Intermittent hypoxia is a key mechanism linking Obstructive Sleep
Apnea (OSA) to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Oximetry analysis could enhance …

Background and objective Many sleep recording software used in clinical settings have
some tools to automatically analyze the blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2) signal by detecting …

Non-sleepy obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is thought to have a prevalence of around 20–
25% in industrialised countries. However, the question of whether it should be routinely …
