ABSTRACT

Objective To monitor pulse oxygen saturation(SpO_2)continuously in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) so as to study its clinical implication.Methods SpO_2, thoracic and abdominal respiratory activity was continually recorded during meal time by PSG in 19 patients with COPD. Body mass index and lung function were measured respectively. Results SpO_2 was lower after meal(P
