Overnight pulse oximetry (OPO) has proven to be an effective and beneficial technique to determine the cardiorespiratory status of patients in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. It is a cheap, safe, reliable, simple, and accurate method of patient monitoring as compared to the expensive and labor-intensive method of multichannel polysomnography for detecting sleep-disordered breathing. It provides accurate information about patient's oxygenation status and also helps in monitoring the response to continuous positive airway pressure and in the surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Nocturnal hypoxemia portends a poor prognosis in patients of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease (ILD), and neuromuscular diseases. OPO can help its early detection and management.
夜间脉搏血氧饱和度监测（OPO）已被证明是一种在住院和门诊环境中确定患者心肺状况的有效且有益的技术。与用于检测睡眠呼吸障碍的昂贵且劳动密集型的多通道多导睡眠图方法相比，它是一种廉价、安全、可靠、简单且准确的患者监测方法。它能提供有关患者氧合状态的准确信息，还有助于监测持续气道正压通气的反应以及阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）的外科治疗。夜间低氧血症预示着慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）、间质性肺疾病（ILD）和神经肌肉疾病患者的预后不良。OPO有助于其早期检测和管理。
