Sleep Apnea - Capnography VS Oximetry - which is the key? by Roger L Price with FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

In assessing sleep apnea, oximetry (measurement of oxygen) is a major focus. According to breathing authority Roger L Price, oximetry and blood gas measurements are over-used, while capnometry (measurement of CO2) is ignored. Overbreathing is a critical and common root cause. We demonstrate capnometer use.
