A retrospective review of predictors of hypoventilation measured via transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring on diagnostic sleep studies
Sleep related hypoventilation is deadly, complex to diagnose and very treatable. It is caused by medical comorbidities, such as obesity, opiate medications and rare neuromuscular conditions. Transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring is the gold standard to diagnose sleep related hypoventilation; it is non-invasive, provides trends in changes throughout the study and is relatively accurate and comparable to invasive arterial blood gas partial pressures. As sleep services shift to increasing home-based diagnostics, which cannot diagnose hypoventilation, it is important that this diagnosis is not missed. Thus, this study is important to help identify those patients in the clinic at highest risk of hypoventilation, to ensure that this diagnosis is detected.
