[Significance and relationship between apnea and subsequent hypoxemia of OSAHS patients in a waking state].
To explore the clinical significance and relationship between apnea and subsequent hypoxemia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in a waking state. ⋯ The single delay period of desaturation in OSAHS patients get shorter with the degree of severity, especially in the severe ones. The shortening of the single delay period of desaturation maybe a protective mechanism for OSAHS patients so as to reduce the severity of apnea. AHI, LSaO2, TS90% and the sleep apnea-hypopnea time per hour have a close relationship with the single delay period of desaturation and it may provide valuable information for evaluating the severity of OSAHS patients, especially to the serious one. The single delay period of desaturation has a close relationship with ESS7 and may contribute to evaluate the severity of daytime sleepiness.
