Abstract:Intermittent hypoxemia is closely associated with cardiovascular dysfunction and may be a more accurate indicator of OSA severity than conventional metrics. Another key factor is the lung-to-finger circulation time (LFCt), defined as the duration from the cessation of a respiratory event to the lowest point of oxygen desaturation. LFCt serves as a surrogate marker for circulatory delay and is linked with cardiovascular function. Yet, the specific associations between respiratory and hypoxemia characteristics a… Show more
