Figure 1. Example traces from patient A. a)Timeline of patient’s stay in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), with each apnea/hypopnea plotted; b) 30 Second trace of normal breathing pattern (minute ventilation (MV] = 14.2 L/min, RR = 11, tidal volume (TV) = 1.3 L); c) 30 second trace from an apneic time period (MV = 2.4 L/min, respiratory rate (RR) = 2, TV = 1.2 L); d) 120 second trace from a period with repetitive apneas. (MV = 5.9 L/min, RR = 6, TV = 0.99 L).
