متن کاملThe relationship between nocturnal hypoxia and sofa score on critically ill patients at the icu
Introduction Apnea test (AT) (ApneaLinkTM, RESMED-Munich, Germany) can be used for different clinical conditions to calculate apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and nocturnal hypoxia (NH) at intensive care unit (ICU) [1].
