Article Synopsis
- Delirium is a common issue after cardiac surgery, and this study investigated how sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) relates to it in patients who haven't been previously diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.
- The research evaluated 92 elective cardiac surgery patients, measuring their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) before surgery to assess SDB, and tested for delirium during the first four days after surgery using established methods.
- Results showed a significant difference in preoperative AHI between patients who developed delirium and those who didn’t, revealing that a higher AHI increases the risk of delirium, alongside factors like age and smoking.
