Assessment of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in patients undergoing knee replacement surgery using a regional anesthetic technique found postoperative reduction of REM sleep also occurs after surgery and regional anesthesia.
Abstract

A Brief Review of Non-invasive Monitoring of Respiratory Condition for Extubated Patients with or at Risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea after Surgery

TL;DR: The sole use of any of these devices is not ideal for monitoring of extubated patients with or at risk for OSA after surgery, but it is expected that the combined use of continuous pulse oximetry and RVM may be promising for these patients due to their complementary function, which need further study.
