84224 - Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hypoxemia in Postpartum Women
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction : The prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in pregnant women has been estimated to range from 12% to 26.7% (1,2,3). Previous studies have evaluated SDB and/or OSA during pregnancy, but no study has specifically examined the first postpartum day. The first-day postpartum is associated with significant changes to maternal physiology and sleep conditions. We have performed a prospective observational study among women during the first postpartum night to assess the prevalence of OSA and hypoxemia.

متن کاملCognitive impairment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and associated hypoxemia.
Twenty-six patients with sleep apnea had neuropsychologic testing prior to nocturnal sleep study in a sleep disorders clinic. The cognitive functioning of patients who had sleep apnea with associated hypoxemia was compared to nonhypoxemic patients with sleep apnea. The patients who had sleep apnea with hypoxemia had more severe cognitive impairment than those with sleep apnea without hypoxemia....
