In this retrospective study, 72 obstructive sleep apnea patients with polysomnograms taken before and after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty were evaluated. Postoperatively, there was a significant improvement of sleep architecture and respiratory indices. In addition, a second group of 17 patients also had position recordings with their polysomnograms. Time spent in supine and lateral sleep positions changed postoperatively. There was significant decrease of the apnea plus hypopnea index in the lateral position. This study indicates that there is significant improvement of sleep architecture and respiratory indices in the majority of patients after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, particularly in the lateral sleep position.
在这项回顾性研究中，对72例接受悬雍垂腭咽成形术前后均进行多导睡眠图检查的阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者进行了评估。术后，睡眠结构和呼吸指标有显著改善。此外，另一组17例患者在进行多导睡眠图检查时也进行了体位记录。术后仰卧位和侧卧位的睡眠时间发生了变化。侧卧位时呼吸暂停加低通气指数显著降低。这项研究表明，大多数患者在接受悬雍垂腭咽成形术后睡眠结构和呼吸指标有显著改善，尤其是在侧卧位时。
