Trafik kazası öyküsü olan obstrüktif uyku apne sendromlu hastalarda uyku parametrelerinin değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Trafik kazası geçirme öyküsü olan obstrüktif uyku apne sendromlu (OUAS) hastalarda polisomnografik parametrelerin araştırılması amaçlandı.Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 77 OUAS hastası alındı. Hastaların tüm gece polisomnografik kayıtları ile elde edilen parametreler ve trafik kazası öyküsü standart forma kaydedildi.Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 45,15 ± 11,53 yıldı. Hastaların %53’ü erkek, %47’si kadındı. Hastaların apne hipopne indeksi (AHİ) ortalaması 13,54 adet/saat idi.Hastalarda trafik kazası geçirme öyküsü %12 olarak saptandı. Trafik kazası geçirme öyküsü olan hastalarda olma-yanlara göre anlamlı olarak farklı bulunan parametreler AHİ, supin AHİ, arrousal indeksi ve oksijen desatürasyon indeksi olarak bulundu (p

Assessment of the sleep parameters in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with a history of traffic accident

Objective: In this study, traffic accident with a history of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in patients with polysomnographic parameters was investigated. Methods: A total of 77 OSAS patients were included in the study. All-night polysomnographic recordings obtained from patients with enuresis parameters and the presence of traffic accidents recorded in standard form. Results: The mean age of patients was 45.15 ± 11.53 years. 53% of the patients were male and 47% female. The mean apnea hypopnea index (AHI) in patients was 13.54 events/h. History of traffic accidents was found in 12% patients. Apnea hypopnea index, supine AHI, arousal index and oxygen desaturation index were found significantly different parameters between history of traffic accidents group and non-history of traffic accidents group (p
