Oxygen desaturation during flexible bronchoscopy with propofol sedation is associated with sleep apnea: the PROSA-Study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of complete or partial obstruction of the upper airways during sleep. Conscious sedation for flexible bronchoscopy (FB) places patients in a sleep-like condition. We hypothesize that oxygen desaturation during flexible bronchoscopy may help to detect undiagnosed sleep apnea. METHODS:Single-centre, investigator-initiated and driven study including consecutive patients undergoing FB for clinical indication. Patients completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Lausanne NoSAS score, STOP-BANG questionnaire and the Berlin questionnaire and underwent polygraphy within 7 days of FB. FB was performed under conscious sedation with propofol. Oxygen desaturation during bronchoscopy was measured with continuous monitoring of peripheral oxygen saturation with ixTrend (ixellence GmbH, Germany). RESULTS:145 patients were included in the study, 62% were male, and the average age was 65.8?±?1.1 years. The vast majority of patients (n?=?131, 90%) proved to fulfill OSA criteria based on polygraphy results: 52/131 patients (40%) had mild sleep apnea, 49/131 patients (37%) moderate sleep apnea and 30/131 patients (23%) severe sleep apnea. Patients with no oxygen desaturation had a significantly lower apnea-hypopnea index than patients with oxygen desaturation during bronchoscopy (AHI 11.94/h vs 21.02/h, p?=?0.011). This association remained significant when adjusting for the duration of bronchoscopy and propofol dose (p?=?0.023; 95% CI 1.382; 18.243) but did not hold when also adjusting for age and BMI. CONCLUSION:The severity of sleep apnea was associated to oxygen desaturation during flexible bronchoscopy under conscious sedation. Patients with oxygen desaturation during bronchoscopy might be considered for sleep apnea screening. TRIAL REGISTRATION:The Study was approved by the Ethics Committee northwest/central Switzerland, EKNZ (EK 16/13) and was carried out according to the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines. Due to its observational character, the study did not require registration at a clinical trial registry.

Project description:Target-controlled infusion (TCI) provides precise pharmacokinetic control of propofol concentration in the effect-site (Ce), eg. brain. This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and optimal TCI regimen for flexible bronchoscopy (FB) sedation.After alfentanil bolus, initial induction Ce of propofol was targeted at 2 ?g/ml. Patients were randomized into three titration groups (i.e., by 0.5, 0.2 and 0.1 ?g/ml, respectively) to maintain stable sedation levels and vital signs. Adverse events, frequency of adjustments, drug doses, and induction and recovery times were recorded.The study was closed early due to significantly severe hypoxemia events (oxyhemoglobin saturation <70%) in the group titrated at 0.5 ?g/ml. Forty-nine, 49 and 46 patients were enrolled into the 3 respective groups before study closure. The proportion of patients with hypoxemia events differed significantly between groups (67.3 vs. 46.9 vs. 41.3%, p?=?0.027). Hypotension events, induction and recovery time and propofol doses were not different. The Ce of induction differed significantly between groups (2.4±0.5 vs. 2.1±0.4 vs. 2.1±0.3 ?g/ml, p?=?0.005) and the Ce of procedures was higher at 0.5 ?g/ml titration (2.4±0.5 vs. 2.1±0.4 vs. 2.2±0.3 ?g/ml, p?=?0.006). The adjustment frequency tended to be higher for titration at 0.1 ?g/ml but was not statistically significant (2 (0?6) vs. 3 (0?6) vs. 3 (0?11)). Subgroup analysis revealed 14% of all patients required no further adjustment during the whole sedation. Comparing patients requiring at least one adjustment with those who did not, they were observed to have a shorter induction time (87.6±34.9 vs. 226.9±147.9 sec, p<0.001), a smaller induction dose and Ce (32.5±4.1 vs. 56.8±22.7 mg, p<0.001; 1.76±0.17 vs. 2.28 ±0.41, p<0.001, respectively), and less hypoxemia and hypotension (15.8 vs.56.9%, p?=?0.001; 0 vs. 24.1%, p?=?0.008, respectively).Titration at 0.5 ?g/ml is risky for FB sedation. A subgroup of patients required no more TCI adjustment with fewer complications. Further studies are warranted to determine the optimal regimen of TCI for FB sedation.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01101477.

Project description:Study objectivesTo investigate the effects of different intermittent hypoxemia properties on blood pressure (BP) and short-term blood pressure variability (BPV) in severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients.MethodsNocturnal BP was continuously monitored by measuring pulse transmit time. Apnea-related systolic BP elevation values were used to reflect BPV. Beat-to-beat R-R interval data were incorporated in polysomnography for heart rate variability analysis. The low-frequency/high-frequency band ratio was used to reflect sympathovagal balance. The rate of pulse oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO₂) decrease was counted as the change in the percentage of SpO₂ per second after obstructive apnea and expressed as the oxygen desaturation rate (ODR). Patients with severe OSA (n = 102) were divided into 2 groups according to the median ODR: faster ODR (FODR group: ODR > 0.37, n = 50) and slower ODR (ODR ≤ 0.37, n = 52).ResultsComparisons between the 2 groups showed significantly higher systolic BP (SBP) values in the FODR group than in the slower ODR group (awake SBP 149.9 ± 18.3 vs 131.8 ± 15.6 mm Hg; asleep SBP: 149.6 ± 19.9 vs 128.7 ± 15.6 mm Hg; both P < .001), as well as short-term BPV (15.0 ± 4.8 vs 11.6 ± 3.6 mm Hg; P < .001), and the prevalence of hypertension (74.0% vs 26.9%; P < .001). Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that after adjusting for body mass index, functional residual capacity, expiratory reserve volume, and baseline SpO2, ODR, as assessed by ΔSpO₂/Δt, had the strongest association with both BP and short-term BPV. Correlation analysis showed that ODR was positively correlated with the low-frequency/high-frequency band ratio (r = .288, P = .003).ConclusionsODR, as a novel hypoxemia profile, was more closely associated with the elevation of BP and BPV in patients with severe OSA. FODR might be associated with enhanced sympathetic activity.Clinical trial registrationRegistry: ClinicalTrials.gov; Name: Characteristics of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Related Hypertension and the Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment on Blood Pressure; URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03246022; Identifier: NCT03246022.
