Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of complete or partial obstruction of the upper airways during sleep. Conscious sedation for flexible bronchoscopy (FB) places patients in a sleep-like condition. We hypothesize that oxygen desaturation during flexible bronchoscopy may help to detect undiagnosed sleep apnea. Methods Single-centre, investigator-initiated and driven study including consecutive patients undergoing FB for clinical indication. Patients completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Lausanne NoSAS score, STOP-BANG questionnaire and the Berlin questionnaire and underwent polygraphy within 7 days of FB. FB was performed under conscious sedation with propofol. Oxygen desaturation during bronchoscopy was measured with continuous monitoring of peripheral oxygen saturation with ixTrend (ixellence GmbH, Germany). Results 145 patients were included in the study, 62% were male, and the average age was 65.8 ± 1.1 years. The vast majority of patients (n = 131, 90%) proved to fulfill OSA criteria based on polygraphy results: 52/131 patients (40%) had mild sleep apnea, 49/131 patients (37%) moderate sleep apnea and 30/131 patients (23%) severe sleep apnea. Patients with no oxygen desaturation had a significantly lower apnea–hypopnea index than patients with oxygen desaturation during bronchoscopy (AHI 11.94/h vs 21.02/h, p = 0.011). This association remained significant when adjusting for the duration of bronchoscopy and propofol dose (p = 0.023; 95% CI 1.382; 18.243) but did not hold when also adjusting for age and BMI. Conclusion The severity of sleep apnea was associated to oxygen desaturation during flexible bronchoscopy under conscious sedation. Patients with oxygen desaturation during bronchoscopy might be considered for sleep apnea screening. Trial registration: The Study was approved by the Ethics Committee northwest/central Switzerland, EKNZ (EK 16/13) and was carried out according to the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines. Due to its observational character, the study did not require registration at a clinical trial registry.

Obstructive Sleep

Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is frequent in the acute phase of stroke. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been found in 62% of stroke patients. The impact of OSA is significant after ischemic stroke, including early neurological deterioration, poor functional outcome and increased long-term mortality. However, performing polysomnography (PSG) for all patients with acute stroke for diagnose OSA is still impracticable. Therefore clinical tools to select patients at higher risk for OSA would be essential. The aim of this study was to determine the validity of the Berlin Questionnaire (BQ) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) to identify stroke patients in whom the PSG would be indicated. Methods: Subjects with ischemic stroke were stratified into high and low risk groups for SDB using a BQ. The ESS ≥ 10 was used to define excessive daytime sleepiness. The BQ and ESS were administered to the relatives of stroke patients at hospital admission. All patients were submitted to a full overnight PSG at the first night after symptoms onset. OSA severity was measured by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Results: We prospectively studied 40 ischemic stroke patients. The mean age was 62 ± 12.1 years and the obstructive sleep apnea (AHI ≥ 15) was present in 67.5%. On stratifying risk of OSA in these patients based on the QB, 77.5% belonged to the high-risk and 50% to the ESS ≥ 10. The sensitivity of QB was 85%, the specificity 35%, the positive predictive value 74% and the negative predictive value 55%. For ESS was respectively 63%, 85%, 89% and 52%. The diagnostic value of the BQ and ESS in combination to predict OSA had a sensitivity of 58%, a specificity of 89%, a positive predictive value of 95% and a negative predictive value of 38%. Conclusions: The QB even applied to the bed-partners of stroke patients is a useful screening tool for OSA.

Abstract Introduction Approximately 30% of patient with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have positional OSA [non-supine apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) < 5 events/hr]. However, the prevalence is based on variable definitions for hypopneas related to the degree of oxygen desaturation. In addition, use of a home sleep apnea test (HSAT) to identify positional OSA is limited. We hypothesized that in patients evaluated with an HSAT, using a definition for hypopneas based on 4% compared to 3% oxygen desaturation will significantly decrease the percentage diagnosed with positional OSA. Methods Fourteen patients with positional OSA based on a non-supine respiratory event index (REI) < 5 events/hr were included. The initial diagnosis was determined based on a hypopnea definition of ≥ 3% oxygen desaturation. The studies were reanalyzed using a hypopnea definition of ≥ 4% oxygen desaturation. Results Fourteen patients [9 (64%) males, 46±14 yrs, BMI 31±6 kg/m2, ESS 7±5, REI 9±3 events/hr, mean SaO2 94±2%, lowest SaO2 81±6%, %TST SaO2 < 90% 4±6%] were identified with positional OSA (supine REI 16±7 events/hr, non-supine REI 3±1 events/hr) using a hypopneas definition of ≥ 3% oxygen desaturation. When reanalyzed using a hypopnea ≥ 4% oxygen desaturation there was a significant decrease in the REI to 7±2 events/hr (p<0.001). Three patients (21%) no longer were considered to have OSA. These patients were younger (32±14 vs. 50±11yrs, p=0.03) and had less severe OSA (REI 6±1 vs. 9±3 events/hr (p=0.04), but there was no difference in BMI (32±11 vs. 31±5 kg/m2, p=0.9) or mean and lowest SaO2 (96±0.4 vs. 94±2%, p=0.13, and 82±8 vs. 81±6%, p=0.9, respectively). Conclusion In patients with mild positional OSA, using a hypopnea definition of at least 4% vs. 3% oxygen desaturation on a HSAT will have a significant effect on the overall REI and often exclude patients who would otherwise be treated for OSA.
