Figure 2.
Developmental trajectory of diurnal and nocturnal oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) values. Difference between diurnal and nocturnal mean oxyghemoglobin saturation at three different altitudes by age group (infants, 6–12 mo old; children, 4–10 years old; adolescents, 13–17 years old). Altitude values are: high > 3,650 m, moderate 2,500 m, and low 500 m. Error bars are standard errors.
