A member asked:
Currently on apap for mild sleep apnea. oxygen saturation 94%-98% most of the night with some dips to 90%. is 90% oxygen saturation considered hypoxic or normal during sleep? not sure if my treatment is adequate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The duration of the low oxygen saturation readings less than 92% may be assessed by a sleep study or overnight oxygen saturation study. if there are brief desaturations, usually there is no sequelae. Watch for signs of excessive sleepiness during the day.
