Validation of the Nox-T3 Portable Monitor for Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Study Objectives: Clinical practice guidelines recommend polysomnography (PSG) for diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with major comorbidities. We evaluated home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) using a type 3 portable monitor (PM, Nox-T3, Nox Medical, Reykjavik, Iceland) to diagnose OSA in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods: Ninety adults with COPD (89.

Study Objectives: To evaluate the performance of a portable monitor (Nox-T3, Nox Medical Inc. Reykjavik, Iceland) used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in Chinese adults.

Methods: Eighty Chinese adults (mean ± standard deviation age 47.

Sleep apnea in total joint arthroplasty patients and the role for cardiac biomarkers for risk stratification: an exploration of feasibility.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and is a major risk factor for postoperative cardiovascular complications and death. Recognizing this, the American Society of Anesthesiologists urges clinicians to implement special considerations in the perioperative care of OSA patients. However, as the volume of patients presenting for TJA increases, resources to implement these recommendations are limited.
