Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Subjects will be exposed to short term hypoxia aiming for a target saturation of 80% while haemodynamic and ventilatory parameters are measured. They will breathe through a mouthpiece connected to special equipment which delivers different gas mixtures and enables the delivery of the hypoxic exposure. Heart rate, blood pressure, arterial stiffness ( via pulse wave analysis), and peripheral vasoconstriction (via peripheral arterial tonometry PAT) will be measured. Initially there will be a 10 minute baseline period followed by the 20 minute period of hypoxia and then a 10 minute recovery period. A proportion of subjects will then be studied after being commenced on treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
