Oxygen Desaturation Index of 4 Percent ODI can be better to reflect the severity of SAHS.
An elevation in ODI may lead to increased oxidative stress in the body that may predispose people to long-term cardiovascular risks, including high blood pressure (hypertension), heart attack, stroke, and memory loss associated with dementia.
ODI4 indicates the severity of hypoxia during sleep, if this number is greater than 5, please go to the hospital for further examination。
What is SAHS
Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing stops for more than ten seconds during sleep. Sleep apnea is a major, though often unrecognized, cause of daytime sleepiness. It can have serious negative effects on a person’s quality of life, and is thought to be considerably underdiagnosed in the United States.
Polysomography (PSG) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of SAHS, but the operation is complex and cost much, it is not easy to
popularize.
