title: [Utility of the use of computer monitoring pulse oximetry for screening of obstructive sleep apnea].
abstract: This paper contains description of possibilities of the use of the computer monitoring pulse oximetry for (CMPO) diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome at the level of practical health care and presentation of data on sensitivity and specificity of this method in various groups of patients. It is shown that diagnostic accuracy of the method substantially increases if patients are selected on the basis of clinical picture and presence of OSAS markers. A conclusion is made that CMPO can be successfully used for screening of respiration disturbances during sleep in patients with high probability of OSAS. A double stage scheme of patients screening is suggested. It assumes formation of a group with risk of development of OSAS basing on anamnesis, results of examination, and presence of concomitant conditions with subsequent CMPO. Criteria of assessment of results of CMPO according to value of desaturation index value are given. These criteria allow to more accurately predict presence or absence of OSAS.
