1 Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Julia Buchfuhrer, PGY-II Updated March 2018

2 Objectives Define OSA Recognize Risk Factors for OSA
Know when to refer for PSG Know the available treatments for OSA

3 Case 52y/o obese gentleman comes into clinic complaining of being tired everyday. He often falls asleep at work or while driving home. He gets about 8 hours of sleep most nights and falls asleep right away. Vitals signs normal except BP 145/90 Physical exam BMI 40, enlarged neck All other labs normal including EKG

4 Case We’ll get back to him later…

5 What is OSA? Collapse of the oropharynx during sleep causing decreased airflow Includes spectrum from apneas to hypopneas to breathing related arousals Hypopnea defined as <88% oxygen saturation

6 More Pathophys Increased work of breathing against closed airway leads to arousals during sleep Patients often don’t remember these arousals Sleep arousals  poor quality sleep  daytime sleepiness

7 Chief Complaint Most often the patient’s complaint is excessive daytime sleepiness In the setting of 7+ hours of sleep at night If the patient is getting less than 7 hours of sleep at night, daytime sleepiness is likely due to this

8 When does OSA occur? REM SUPINE SLEEP most commonly, why?
Pharyngeal airway muscles relaxed during REM sleep Neck habitus while supine physically collapses pharynx

9 Epidemiology 20-30% of male Americans 10-15% of female Americans
THAT’S A LOT OF PEOPLE!

10 Risk Factors Age Gender: M>F Obesity, especially BMI >40
Small airway Large neck size

11 When to screen? Patient with concerning RFs and complaint of excessive daytime sleepiness How to screen? STOP-BANG Questionnaire RFs – risk factors Questionnaire on next slide

12 STOP-BANG Scoring <3 is low risk, 3-5 medium, 5+ high risk

13 Back to our patient 52y/o obese gentleman comes into clinic complaining of being tired everyday. He often falls asleep at work or while driving home. He gets about 8 hours of sleep most nights and falls asleep right away. Vitals signs normal except BP 145/90 Physical exam BMI 40, enlarged neck

14 What’s his STOP-BANG? Tired, BP, BMI, Age, Neck, Gender = 6
This is the key slide here, go through this thoroughly Tired, BP, BMI, Age, Neck, Gender = 6

15 So now what? Send for “sleep testing”, what is that?
PSG = Polysomnographic study No need to go over this picture, just here for reference

16 Treatment - CPAP CPAP - the mainstay of OSA treatment
Uses PEEP to open posterior oropharynx

17 Treatment WEIGHT LOSS! Decreases BMI, neck size, BP – 3 of the STOP-BANG A 2009 Randomized control trial showed 10kg weight loss lead to decrease in AHI by approx 10 (A LOT). P<.001

18 Summary Sleep apnea is collapse of the oropharynx during sleep causing reduced airflow Rougly ¼ of Americans have sleep apnea STOP BANG Questionairre > 3 = PSG Treatment = CPAP + weight loss
