阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征术前评估方法的研究进展

阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(obstructive sleep apnea syndrome,OSAS)是一种常见的因郡分或全部上呼吸道反复阻塞引起的睡眠障碍,其特征是睡眠时呼吸气流暂停超过10 s.手术患者合并OSAS可使患者更易发生围手术期并发症.目前OSAS诊断的金标准是多导睡眠图,其术前评估方法有量表法和便携式仪器诊断等多种方法.

Screening of surgical patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) ,a common sleep disorder,is characterized by episodes of cessation of breathing during sleep lasting for more than 10 seconds, due to repetitive partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway. Surgical patients with OSAS may lead to peri-operative complications. An up-to-date "gold" diagnosis standard of OSAS remains polysomnogram. We review a variety of preoperative evaluation methods available for OSAS diagnosis,including questionnaires, portable devices,and other clinical screening tests.
