Objective: The workup of patients with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) consists of a physical examination, O2 saturation, and polysomnography to determine the severity of respiratory obstruction and need for surgery. We suggest that capillary blood gas (CBG) may be a better physiologic representation of airway obstruction and should be routinely used in the management of patients with PRS. Design: This is a multicenter study based on a retrospective review of medical records. Setting: The study was performed at tertiary care centers. Interventions: Patients with PRS <1 year old underwent mandibular distraction osteogenesis. Main Outcome Measure: Using successful treatment outcome as a reference standard, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the accuracy of the diagnostic test and values for the best sensitivity and specificity to determine the need for surgical intervention. Results: Of 73 patients, 48 had sporadic PRS, 23 had syndromes, 2 had micrognathia, not otherwise specified. Mandibular distraction osteogenesis was performed in 62 patients at a mean age of 39 days. The mean initial Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) in nonsurgical versus surgical groups was 10 versus 31 (P = .063), pH 7.41 versus 7.34 (P = .003), pCO2 43 versus 56 (P < .001), and HCO3 27 versus 30 (P = .022). The ROC curve showed that pCO2 of 49.5 has the best specificity (100%) and sensitivity (72.6%) profile in terms of need for definitive airway. Conclusion: A simple CBG heel stick may better predict the physiologic effects of obstructive apnea; therefore, it should be added to the algorithm of PRS workup. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
