Article Synopsis
- Sleep disorders in the Kyrgyz Republic are largely undiagnosed and untreated, prompting an exploration of the state of sleep medicine through insights from local and international health care workers.
- A policy analysis and interviews revealed three main barriers: lack of education and training, financial constraints, and poor infrastructure and equipment.
- A proposed strategy to overcome these challenges includes enhancing knowledge sharing, conducting implementation research, and advocating for policy changes to prioritize sleep health at both local and government levels.
Investigation of pulmonary gas exchange efficacy usually requires arterial blood gas analysis (aBGA) to determine arterial partial pressure of oxygen (mPaO) and compute the Riley alveolar-to-arterial oxygen difference (A-aDO); that is a demanding and invasive procedure. A noninvasive approach (AGM100), allowing the calculation of PaO (cPaO) derived from pulse oximetry (SpO), has been developed, but this has not been validated in a large cohort of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Our aim was to conduct a validation study of the AG100 in hypoxemic moderate-to-severe COPD.
