Summary
Objective: Lactate, as an indicator of hypoxia, may be useful in sleep-related breathing disorders to identify higher risk groups and monitor the effectiveness of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment. We aimed to investigate the change in arterial lactate level in blood after PAP treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep-related hypoventilation and hypoxemic syndromes and its applicability for monitoring this change regarding the effectiveness of the treatment.
