[tri-med] Re: PH & Apnea

No one breathes as well at night as they do during the day, for example when
my patients come back from the OR if they are awake their sats are fine but
when they fall asleep they do drop a bit esp if they have had a GA

Subject: [tri-med] PH & Apnea

I had just recently asked a question about pulmonary hypertension.? I have
now been filled with so much knowledge.? Thank you!? I have since?made an
appointment with a pulmonologist.? Olivia is not on oxygen while awake.? Her
sats are great.? However, her cardiologist has suggested putting her on it
at night to help with the PH.? Her oxygen has been dropping out at night.? I
am not familiar with sleep apnea but I think she may have a touch of it.?
Her oxygen drops a good bit and then comes back up.? Do you know if there is
a connection with the two?? Of course,?I learn alot more from your
experiences than google!? I look forward to the day that I can help someone
with their challenges.? Thanks so much for bearing with me as I grasp for
straws and try to keep my baby alive.

Tara, mom of Olivia (9m T18), Sydney (4), and wife to James
