Real-Time Automatic Apneic Event Detection Using Nocturnal Pulse Oximetry

Conclusion: We developed an effective strategy to detect apneic events by using morphometric characteristics in the fluctuation of blood oxygen saturation values. Significance: Our study could be potentially useful in home-based multinight apneic event monitoring for purposes of therapeu- ic intervention and follow-up study on sleep apnea.
