持续气道正压通气对睡眠呼吸暂停综合征合并勃起功能障碍的治疗

目的 :探讨经鼻持续气道正压通气 (nCPAP)对睡眠呼吸暂停综合征 (SAS)合并勃起功能障碍 (ED)患者勃起功能的影响。　方法 :SAS合并ED患者 2 7例 ,随机分为治疗组 15例和对照组 12例 ,治疗组使用BIPAP呼吸机以nCPAP治疗 1个月 ,比较两组治疗前后睡眠呼吸暂停低通气指数 (AHI)、最低SaO2 和勃起功能国际问卷 5 (IIEF 5 )评分的变化。　结果 :两组患者治疗前AHI、最低SaO2 、勃起功能、IIEF 5评分无明显差异 ,治疗组在治疗后比治疗前、对照组均有明显改善 ,差异均有显著性 (P <0 .0 5 )。而对照组在治疗前后上述指标无明显变化 (P >0 .0 5 )。结论 :nCPAP可改善SAS合并ED患者的勃起功能。

Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Sydrome by Nasal Continual Positive Airway Pressure

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of nasal continual positive airway pressure (nCPAP) on the erectile function of erectile dysfunction (ED) patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS). METHODS: Twenty-seven patients with ED and OSAS were randomly divided into treatment (n = 15) and control (n = 12) groups, the former treated by nCPAP from 22:00 to 6:00 per night for 1 month. And the apnea-hypopnea index(AHI), the lowest oxygen saturation (SaO2) and IIEF were compared before and after treatment. RESULTS: AHI, the lowest SaO2, erectile function and IIEF showed no significant difference before treatment in the two groups, but displayed a significant improvement after treatment in the treated group compared with the control (P > 0.05), in which no significant changes were observed before and after treatment (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: nCPAP therapy can improve the erectile function of ED patients with OSAS.
