Effects of Salmeterol on Sleeping Oxygen Saturation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract: Background: Sleep is associated with important adverse effects in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as disturbed sleep quality and gas exchange, including hypoxemia and hypercapnia. The effects of inhaled long-acting β2-agonist therapy (LABA) on these disturbances are unclear. Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of inhaled salmeterol on nocturnal sleeping arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) and sleep quality. Methods: In a randomized, dou… Show more

“…Long-acting inhaled bronchodilators do not affect sleep quality [162,163]. Studies on indacaterol suggest that it reduces nocturnal awakenings due to dyspnoea, compared to placebo and comparators (tiotropium and salmeterol) [164,165].…”

“…Several studies have investigated the effects of bronchodilator therapy [19,[64][65][66][67]. In a 4-week, double-blind study among 36 patients with moderate to severe COPD, treatment with ipratropium (given four times daily) led to an improvement in oxygen saturation and also in perceived sleep quality [66].…”

“…Previous studies showed equivocal benefits of theophylline, inhaled bronchodilators, and supplemental oxygen on sleep quality. [10][11][12][13][14][15] Management should therefore not just concentrate on drug control of airway obstruction.…”
