Pediactric Scoring


Posted by Delta Queen, RPSGT on February 02, 2005 at 16:12:33:

Just wondering with how much of a desaturation do you score hypopneas in the pediactric patient. I have heard that some labs score at 2 % drop from baseline. We are currently using 4% but may be changing. What is Medicare's take on it? Any imput is welcomed. Thanks
