Correlation Between Oxygen Saturation and Pulse Tracing Patterns on Overnight Oximetry With Normal Desaturation Index Is an Independent Predictor of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Conclusions:Visual correlation between episodic increase in HRV and minimal oxygen desaturations on OPO is an independent predictor of OSA, and promising marker for clinical use.Citation:Festic N, Zuberi M, Bansal V, Fredrickson P, Festic E.
