Re: overnight oximetry study?

[Guest guest]

The overnight study I had was with a Pulse/Ox about the size of a box of checks. I had a memory chip in it to record your oxygen levels all night long. I taped it to my finger so it would not come off P PM (Polymositis) 12/98, UIP 8/00, o2 24/7 9 LPM 8/04, PH 3/06, ILL yo 60REMEMBER : All of you on Prednisone'stressed' spelled backwards is 'desserts'If God brings you to it - He will bring you through

The pulmo dude has me set up to do one next week. All I know is I have to pick up a machine at the hospital and do something with it at home. Is it a large machine? Can someone tell me what it does? I've had sleep studies in the hospital twice already. How does this differ?

Hope everyone is having an easy breathing day!
