ABSTRACT

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a pathology that leads to a high risk of developing cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological diseases. Positive airway pressure (CPAP) or mandibular advancement devices (MAD) can open superior airway (SAW) improve the obstruction, however, adherence is too low. It has already been shown that surgical SAW procedures, compared with medical management, can lead to a significant reduction in the frequency of apneas and hypopneas. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and demographic characteristics, changes in excessive daytime sleepiness using Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), apnea-hipopnea index (AHI) and SpO2 in patients with OSA managed surgically. Methods: A descriptive observational case series type study was carried out. Results: Nine patients were included, 77.8% were overweight or obese. A decrease in the ESS was found in 100% of the patients when pre- and post-operative scores were compared. Additionally, pre and postoperative polysomnography (PSG) showed an increase in sleep efficiency with improvement in oxygenation parameters such as mean saturation and minimum saturation. Regarding respiratory events, we found a decrease in AHI in 88.8% of patients. Conclusion: The findings in this study suggest that SAW surgery is safe to perform in patients with OSA. However, it is necessary to keep in mind that not all patients are candidates for surgical management and that adequate patient selection is important to reduce procedural complications
