Abstract
Patients with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were monitored for the presence of disordered breathing and O2 desaturation during daytime naps. Disordered breathing occurred commonly during naps in patients with COPD and often was associated with desaturation. Disordered breathing was also seen in patients without COPD, but desaturation was less frequent and less severe.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
