Effect of moderate elevation above sea level on blood oxygen saturation in healthy young adults.
BACKGROUND Arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SaO₂) decreases at an altitude of >1,500 m. There are no reports on normal SaO₂ at altitudes between 0 and 1,500 m. The clinical significance of decreased SaO₂ at such altitudes is unclear. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that in healthy volunteers normal SaO₂ at moderate altitude (MA; 725 m) is lower than that at almost sea level (SL; 43 m)....
متن کاملSleep apnea and oxygen saturation in adults at 2640 m above sea level☆
PURPOSE To describe the SpO2 in wakefulness, sleep and during the apnea-hypopnea in adults living in Bogotá, located at 2640 m above sea level. METHODS Descriptive observational study in adults referred for polysomnogram (PSG). A normal Apnea hypopnea index (AHI) was defined as ≤5 and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was classified as mild (AHI 5-15), moderate (AHI 15-30), and severe (AHI >30). ...

Effect of Fasting Blood Glucose Level on Heart Rate Variability of Healthy Young Adults
BACKGROUND Previous studies reported increased risk of cardiac events in subjects with fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels lower than the diagnostic threshold of diabetes mellitus. However, whether increased cardiac events in those with upper normal FBG is secondary to the shift of their cardiac sympathovagal balance towards sympathetic predominance is unknown. AIMS To assess the association b...

having conducted the experiment and analysed the data, the researcher computed the groups mean scores and variances for the test relating to the research question. as the final atep, a t-test was conodonted for the hypothesis. as noted earlier, the significance level was determined at .05 and .01 respectively. the observed t-value was higher than the critical t-value at. 5 and .01 levels. conse...
