Twenty-four-hour ambulatory oxygen desaturation and electrocardiographic recording in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Although nocturnal pulseoximetry is routinely performed in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), pulseoximetry over a 24-h period has not been studied. HYPOTHESIS:The purpose of the study was to determine whether simultaneous 24-h oxygen desaturation and electrocardiographic (ECG) recording might be used to screen for daytime sleep sequelae in patients with OSAS. METHODS:Simultaneous recording of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and ECG was conducted over a 24-h period in 18 male patients with OSAS (mean age 51.3 years) who were diagnosed by standard polysomnography (PSG), and in 15 age-matched healthy subjects (mean age 52.7 years) as controls to evaluate circadian variation of these parameters. The measures of heart rate variability (HRV) were calculated from 24-h ambulatory ECGs. Seventeen patients with OSAS showed excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). We calculated the duration in which SpO2 decreased to < 90% (duration of SpO2 < 90%). The number of apnea/hypopneas per hour (AHI) during sleep was investigated with Apnomonitors (Chest MI, Co., Tokyo) on the same day as the SpO2 recordings. RESULTS:Controls showed no episodes of oxygen desaturation. In patients with OSAS, driving (33.3% of patients with OSAS) was the most common activity in which SpO2 decreased to < 90%, followed by daytime napping (27.8%) and resting after meals (22.2%). The duration of SpO2 < 90% over a 24-h period correlated significantly with the duration levels recorded during sleep (r = 0.99, p < 0.05) and in the afternoon (r = 0.62, p < 0.05), and with the AHI (r = 0.55, p < 0.05), but not with the duration of SpO2 < 90% in the morning. The number of ventricular premature beats correlated significantly with the duration of SpO2 < 90% for a 24-h period, but not with measures of HRV. Ventricular tachycardia was found in two (11.1%) and ST-T depression in three patients (16.6%) with underlying cardiac diseases. CONCLUSION:Our results suggest that daytime sleep attacks accompanied by oxygen desaturation in patients with moderate to severe OSAS may contribute to the occurrence of traffic or cardiovascular accidents. We conclude that 24-h ambulatory recordings of SpO2 and ECG are useful for screening for daytime sleep sequelae associated with the potential risk of this pathology in OSAS during social activities.
