[Alterations of blood gases during sleep and consciousness in surgical patients (author's transl)].
Measurements of blood gases and respiratory rate were made in 63 surgical patients during consciousness and sleep. Sleep-induced hypoventilation results in significant alteration of arterial PO2 and PCO2. The therapeutic possibilities to avoid critical postoperative hypoxaemia are intermittent positive pressure ventilation, mobilisation of the patient and O2 insufflation.
