Clinical Trial Summary

Our main objective is to perform an explanatory, first stage proof of concept, randomized controlled trial to determine whether a semi-upright patient position versus a supine position while asleep in the postoperative period helps decrease the worsening of AHI in patients diagnosed with OSA and compare this to usual care (i.e. supine patient positioning while asleep).

The investigators will evaluate whether a semi-upright position reduces: worsening of AHI (as measured with a portable PSG) on the second postoperative night (POD2); oxygen desaturation index (using a portable oxygen saturation monitor, oxygen desaturation defined as >4% change below baseline lasting for 10 seconds); REM sleep related change in AHI at baseline and POD2.; major and minor perioperative complications on postoperative day POD1, POD2, at discharge and POD 30.; length of hospital stay and readmission within 30 days; and patient satisfaction score on POD30


Description:

The proposed study is to determine whether patient positioning in supine or semi-sitting position can effectively control the worsening of OSA see in the postoperative period.

The study patient will be randomized to semi-sitting position (45 degrees incline) group or supine (0 degrees incline) group. Patients will undergo a portable sleep study on the first or second postoperative night. They will also be monitored with wristwatch oximeter pre and postoperatively according to the study protocol. Patients will be managed according to the routine care determined by the health care team. There will be no change in the clinical management of patients.

Accepts healthy volunteers No
Gender All
Age group 18 Years and older
Eligibility Inclusion Criteria:

- Adult patients (18 years and above),

- ASA physical status I to IV,

- Undergoing elective inpatient surgery with obstructive sleep apnea (as determined by initial screening using STOP-Bang questionnaire and if at high risk (>3 points),

- Confirmed by an Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) >5 using a diagnostic home portable polysomnography)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients previously diagnosed as OSA and on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device;

- Known cervical, shoulder, spine abnormalities, and/or chronic pain predisposing to difficulty in maintaining a sitting position; or

- Previous intervention for OSA (e.g., uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, bariatric surgery); where sitting position is contraindicated postoperatively such as hip or spine surgery, hemodynamic instability; ambulatory surgery i.e. planned discharge on the same day of surgery.

Study Design


Intervention

Other:
Semi-upright position
In this group patients' bed will be set into 45 degree angle during sleep in the night time.
Supine position
Control: Supine position during nocturnal sleep for at least two postoperative nights.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Comparison of worsening of severity of OSA using the Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as determined by a portable polysomnography study from baseline (preoperatively) to the second postoperative night. The AHI is used as a surrogate outcome to establish the diagnosis of OSA (AHI>5) and severity of OSA as per the guidelines from American Academy of Sleep Physicians (AASP).5 It is a continuous outcome and is measured by counting the number of apneas (complete cessation of airflow for more than 10 s) and hypopneas (airflow reduction more than 50%) despite continuing breathing efforts and thus differentiating from central events (absence of breathing efforts). The relationship of AHI to clinical outcomes of relevance has been well established in the literature. 3days
Secondary Major and minor perioperative complications and length of hospital stay on postoperative day (POD) 1, POD2, at discharge and POD 30 will be recorded based on chart review. The oxygen desaturation index; REM sleep related change in AHI at baseline and POD2 and time spent in lateral position while asleep will be deciphered from the PSG data. 30 days
Secondary Hospital stay Length of hospital stay, readmission within 30 days, and patient satisfaction score will be recorded and telephonic interview with the patient on POD30. 30 days
