Description

Nocturnal oximetry and PAP downloards are not used as often as they could be to help optimize patient care. For patients with underlying lung disease such as COPD, ILD, etc, exercise oximetry is often done in the office but nocturnal oximetry is rarely utilized. People with normal lung function have reduced FRC and TV during sleep, so for those with underlying lung disease, the hypoventilation can and often is more significant. For patients with known sleep-disordered breathing, PAP downloards can be very useful to identify problems and how best to optimize treatment.
