متن کاملSystematic head and neck physical examination as a predictor of obstructive sleep apnea in class III obese patients.
Our aim was to determine if anatomical abnormalities of the upper airway (UA) and facial skeleton of class III severely obese patients are related to the presence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Forty-five patients (69% females, mean age 46.5 +/- 10.8 years) with a body mass index (BMI) over 40 kg/m(2) underwent UA and facial skeletal examinations as well as polysomnogr...
متن کاملObstructive Sleep Apnea Is an Independent Predictor of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Cardiac Surgery.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk factor for development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery. DESIGN Retrospective analysis.

متن کاملOropharyngeal examination as a predictor of obstructive sleep apnea: pilot study of gag reflex and palatal reflex.
UNLABELLED Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has high prevalence and may cause serious comorbidities. The aim of this trial was to show if simple noninvasive methods such as gag reflex and palatal reflex are prospective multivariate assessments of predictor variables for OSA. METHOD We evaluate gag reflex and palatal reflex, of fifty-five adult patients, and their subsequent overnight polysomnogr...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and the severity of coronary artery disease
