Sleep Apnea After Extubation
Sleep Apnea After Extubation
Sleep apnea is common after extubation, approximately 71%, and is independently associated
 with hypertension and metabolic disease contributing to increased morbidity and mortality.
 Respiratory polygraphy is a simpler alternative to in-laboratory polysomnography for the
 management of more symptomatic patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

 The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of sleep apnea after extubation by
 respiratory polygraphy.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  patients after extubation

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  pregnant

 -  non-consciousness
