Two experts explain how they use non-invasive, continuous monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide in sleep studies.

| "Because patients suffering from chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure frequently receive supplemental oxygen, nocturnal hypoventilation may not be detected by nocturnal pulseoximetry alone. Dr Jean-Paul Janssens tells how he uses tcpO2 to detect nocturnal hypo- and hyperventilation and adjust ventilator settings". | ||||

| "Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been reported in 11 % of obstructive sleep apnea patients. Undiagnosed and untreated, patients suffering from COPD are a risk of developing e.g. cor pulmonale, respiratory failure, and impaired cognitive functions. Al Reichert explains why he believes transcutaneous pCO2 monitoring is the best non-invasive method for diagnosing and treating COPD in the sleep lab". | ||||
