Figure 4 Frequency of respiratory disturbances detected by pulse oximetry and polysomnography.
All patients experienced respiratory disturbances during propofol sedation (total AHI: 10.44 ± 5.68/h). Total apnea hypopnea index (AHI) was significantly greater with polysomnography than with pulse oximetry (1.54 ± 1.81/h, P < 0.001). Obstructive AHI (9.26 ± 5.44/h) was significantly greater than central AHI (1.19 ± 0.90/h, P < 0.001).
