Use of pulse oximetry as an investigative test for paediatric respiratory sleep disorders

Use of pulse oximetry as an investigative test for paediatric respiratory sleep disorders The article covers the following elements: practical and technological considerations for optimising data collection and output; reference ranges for oximetry parameters across the ages; things to consider when interpreting a pulse oximetry study (eg, sleep/wake times); the ability of pulse oximetry to predict obstructive sleep apnoea; using oximetry as a screening tool for sleep disordered breathing in children with Down syndrome; things to consider when setting up a home oximetry service; and a case of an infant being weaned from oxygen using pulse oximetry studies. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ADC: Education and Practice British Medical Journal

Abstract

The article covers the following elements: practical and technological considerations for optimising data collection and output; reference ranges for oximetry parameters across the ages; things to consider when interpreting a pulse oximetry study (eg, sleep/wake times); the ability of pulse oximetry to predict obstructive sleep apnoea; using oximetry as a screening tool for sleep disordered breathing in children with Down syndrome; things to consider when setting up a home oximetry service; and a case of an infant being weaned from oxygen using pulse oximetry studies.
