Sentences with phrase «oxygen desaturation»

Health officials and medical studies agree that to minimise periods of oxygen desaturation, newborn babies should be transported in a lie - flat system which is the healthiest way for them to travel especially on longer journeys.

This can challenge the infant's ability to coordinate sucking, swallowing, pausing and breathing, resulting in oxygen desaturation and stress.

This is because a baby's ability to keep their head held up is not fully developed, meaning their head can flop down and restrict the airways causing oxygen desaturation.»

Other risk factors for diabetes included AHI during rapid eye movement sleep and measures of the physiologic consequences of OSA, including oxygen desaturation, sleep deprivation and activation of the sympathetic nervous system, as indicated by a higher mean heart rate during sleep.

«Our findings that prolonged oxygen desaturation, shorter sleep time and higher heart rate were associated with diabetes are consistent with the pathophysiological mechanisms thought to underlie the relationship between OSA and diabetes.»

In the previous STAR clinical trial, NCT01161420, which led to the device's FDA approval in April 2014 for patients unable to tolerate CPAP, patients implanted with the Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation device showed a 78 percent reduction in AHI and 80 percent fewer oxygen desaturation events (number of times the oxygen levels in the blood were low).

The authors state, «We believe a revision of the operative definition of OSA may be necessary, to reflect not simply the frequency of apneas and hypopneas, but the actual physiologic consequences that result — the severity of oxygen desaturation, sleep fragmentation, sleep deprivation and sympathetic activation.

For further testing, an oxygen desaturation index is another low - cost screening tool that can identify sleep disordered breathing in this population,» said Dr. Sharma.
