Sleep-Related Hypoxemia

Definition

Sleep-related hypoxemia is a medical condition characterized by abnormally low levels of oxygen in the blood during sleep. This can result from various causes, including sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other respiratory disorders. It can lead to disrupted sleep, daytime fatigue, and long-term health complications if left untreated.
