apnea/hypopnea duration re Sp02

Post by 1210donna » Sat Aug 10, 2013 6:37 pm

just found I had a hypopnea of 130 secs... what would that mean in SPo2 terms?

While I am still rather new at this, I don't think you can correlate a set number to that. It depends on how bad the hypopnea was I think but I am thinking with that longer duration you would definitely see a marked SpO2 desaturation.

Hypopnias do not affect O2 as much as apneas
