The Prevalence of Central Sleep Apnea in New Referrals to a Sleep Surgery Clinic.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the prevalence of central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients referred to a Sleep Surgery Clinic, highlighting concerns about improper surgical treatments for non-obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- - Out of 295 patients, 9.8% had clinically significant CSA, but only 10% were diagnosed before their visit; many cases were uncovered through further review of sleep study data.
- - Findings suggest that sleep surgeons should be cautious and actively screen for CSA, especially in older patients with cardiovascular issues, as it was often undiagnosed prior to referral.
The Prevalence of Sentinel Central Events (SCent) During Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
May 2024
Objective: With the recent addition of airflow and respiratory effort channels, our group has observed central and mixed apnea events during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). We measured the frequency and timing of sentinel central and/or mixed events (SCents), as well as assessed for differences in velum, oropharynx, tongue, and epiglottis (VOTE) classification compared to obstructive events.
Study Design: Prospective single-cohort study.
