Oxygen Desaturation During a 6 Min Walk Test is a Sign of Nocturnal Hypoxemia

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may experience sleep disordered breathing with nocturnal desaturation. An exploratory study was performed to determine whether any commonly measured clinical parameters were useful in predicting nocturnal desaturation...

description BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may experience sleep disordered breathing with nocturnal desaturation. An exploratory study was performed to determine whether any commonly measured clinical parameters were useful in predicting nocturnal desaturation in patients with COPD. A validation study was subsequently performed to confirm the utility of the parameter identified in the exploratory study as most useful in this regard.
