Pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome.

abstract：:NOD is a common event in patients with symptomatic COPD who are not hypoxemic while awake. Up to 45% of these patients may have significant oxyhemoglobin desaturation during sleep, and most have evidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Although intuitively it would seem that supplemental oxygen during sleep should...
