The effects of obstructive sleep apnea, in terms of hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and added resistance to breathing, are discussed. The reservoirs of oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as the relevance of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve play an important role in the severity of the recurrent derangements of the blood gas exchanges typical of OSAS.

Abstract
The effects of obstructive sleep apnea, in terms of hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and added resistance to breathing, are discussed. The reservoirs of oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as the relevance of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve play an important role in the severity of the recurrent derangements of the blood gas exchanges typical of OSAS.
