Monitoring of Nocturnal Oxygen Desaturation Using Pulse Oximeter and Apnomonitor in Patients with Chronic Pulmonary Disease

Abstract: The relationship between the degree of nocturnal oxygen desaturation (NOD) and pulmonary hemodynamics, pulmonary function tests, and resting awake blood gases was evaluated in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases (CPD). The severity of NOD correlated with the degree of impairment of pulmonary hemodynamics, but not with pulmonary function tests or resting awake blood gases. NOD was markedly alleviated by oxygen inhalation in CPD patients who did not develop sleep apnea.

“…4 The association between severity of nocturnal desaturations and pulmonary hypertension also applies in ILD subjects. 5 • Metabolic syndrome: This is characterized by a group of metabolic disorders including central obesity, impaired fasting glucose, dyslipidemia (hypertriglyceridemia and low high-density lipoprotein), and hypertension, resulting in overall increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. There is an increasing association between OSA and metabolic syndrome.…”

“…Forced respiratory efforts against air ow obstruction in OSA possibly cause recurrent tractional injury to the periphery of the lung, which is also expected to cause lung damage and aggregate ILD 10 . Moreover, it is known that nocturnal hypoxia is strongly related to the presence of pulmonary hypertension 11,12 . Therefore, early detection of OSA is crucial for preventing the progression of ILD.…”

“…Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias represent a difficult group of diseases where the disease evolution is unpredictable and there are no good treatment options. Sleep-related hypoxemia is well-described in patients with interstitial lung disease although benefit of treating OSA on the course of fibrotic disease is unknown [1]. Poor sleep quality in patients with fibrotic disorders especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) contributes to poor daytime functioning [2,3].…”
