Treating Sleep Apnea Induced Hypoxemia With Oxygen in Acute Stroke Patients

Mayo Clinic6 enrolled

Overview

We want to determine if treating acute ischemic stroke patients who have evidence of hypoxemia due to sleep apnea with low flow O2 during sleep might help improve clinical and functional outcomes.

Acute stroke patients will be tested for nocturnal hypoxemia using overnight oximetry. Those with evidence of hypoxemia will be randomized into two groups. One group will receive standard medical care. The other group will receive standard medical care as well as receiving low flow oxygen during sleep.
