Oxygen Saturation Patterns in Post-Op Patients at Risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

August 5, 2014 updated by: Medtronic - MITG

A Prospective Non-Randomized Study of Pulse Oximetry Saturation Patterns in Postoperative Patients at High Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

This study will include patients who have major surgery and are at risk for or have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. The patients will be monitored the night after surgery for repeating episodes of reduced breathing and oxygen levels. The study will determine if episodes of decreased breathing are reflected in the oxygen monitor.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Presence of Repetitive Reductions in Nasal Airflow Patterns in the Pulse Oximetry Saturation Trend Data.
Time Frame: 12 hour after released from the recovery room
Number of patients exhibiting the presence of repetitive reductions in airflow patterns in the pulse oximetry trend data collected on subjects
12 hour after released from the recovery room

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Relationship Between the Oxygen Desaturation Patterns and Repetitive Reductions in Nasal Airflow as Measured by Inductance Plethysmography and Nasal Pressure.
Time Frame: 12 hours after discharge form the recovery room
The number of patients with a positive repetitive reduction in nasal airflow which correlates with positive oxygen desaturation pattern as measured by photoplethysmography sensors.
12 hours after discharge form the recovery room
