REVIEW
Oximetry use in obstructive sleep apnea.
Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine 2018 August
INTRODUCTION: Overnight oximetry has been proposed as an accessible, simple, and reliable technique for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) diagnosis. From visual inspection to advanced signal processing, several studies have demonstrated the usefulness of oximetry as a screening tool. However, there is still controversy regarding the general application of oximetry as a single screening methodology for OSAS. Areas covered: Currently, high-resolution portable devices combined with pattern recognition-based applications are able to achieve high performance in the detection of this disease. In this review, recent studies involving automated analysis of oximetry by means of advanced signal processing and machine learning algorithms are analyzed. Advantages and limitations are highlighted and novel research lines aimed at improving the screening ability of oximetry are proposed. Expert commentary: Oximetry is a cost-effective tool for OSAS screening in patients showing high pretest probability for the disease. Nevertheless, exhaustive analyses are still needed to further assess unattended oximetry monitoring as a single diagnostic test for sleep apnea, particularly in the pediatric population and in populations with significant comorbidities. In the following years, communication technologies and big data analyses will overcome current limitations of simplified sleep testing approaches, changing the detection and management of OSAS.
