To examine the changes in measures of sleep apnea severity and hypoxemia on the first post-operative night (PON1) following expansion pharyngoplasty as a means to assess the safety of same day discharge after surgery.Prospective cohort study of subjects with moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnea who underwent expansion pharyngoplasty at a single academic sleep surgical practice. A WatchPAT study was performed on the night immediately following surgery (PON1) and comparisons were made to baseline sleep testing.Twenty subjects who had a mean age of 45.7 ± 10.8 years old and a mean body-mass index (BMI) of 31.4 ± 3.2 kg/mOn PON1 following expansion pharyngoplasty, AHI and nocturnal hypoxemia are stable overall but variable on an individual basis. The decision for admission should therefore be made on a case-by-case basis. Further research is need to elucidate definitive predictors of worsening measures on PON1. |
