Nocturnal cerebral hypoxia in obstructive sleep apnoea: a randomised controlled trial

Abstract:

Cerebral hypoxia may promote cerebral damage in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). We investigated whether OSA patients experience nocturnal cerebral hypoxia that is prevented by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

OSA patients using CPAP underwent sleep studies including pulse oximetry (arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2)) and near-infrared spectroscopy to monitor cerebral tissue oxygenation (CTO) at baseline and after 2 weeks on either subtherapeutic or therapeuti...
