In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers evaluated the predictive power of numerous sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) parameters, namely overnight pulse oximeter readings and the ...
Nocturnal pulse oximetry (NPO) indices, such as the 3% and 4% Oxygen Desaturation Indices (ODI3 and ODI4, respectively), demonstrated moderate sensitivity and specificity for detecting moderate and ...
To detect moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in children, nocturnal pulse oximetry (NPO) may be a reasonable alternative to cardiorespiratory polygraphy if the latter is not accessible.
