The patient was placed in the left lateral decubitus position. A thoracotomy incision was made. This exposed the chest muscles, which were incised and retracted. The fourth and fifth ribs were visualized and transected to allow entrance to the chest. A tumor mass was noted involving the right lung upper lobe. The right upper lobe was then removed. Saline was irrigated into the chest. It was noted that the liver and diaphragm appeared to be normal with no lesions seen. After verification that the sponge count was correct, chest tubes were placed for drainage. The surgical wound was closed in layers with chromic catgut and nylon. The patient tolerated this portion of the procedure …show more content…
It looks like she had some difficulty with sleep maintenance. She had sleep onset at 18.5 minutes, REM latency 171.5 minutes, again a little bit prolonged.
She had 27 respiratory events through the night, a mixture of obstructive apneas and obstructive hypopneas with a respiratory disturbance index of 5.1. Anything over 5 is considered significant. The longest duration of anyone event was 34 seconds. O2 sat was between 76 and 95%, with 29% of the time spent with O2 sats less than 88%. Heart rate varied between 55 and 113, somewhat varying with the obstructive events. The patient had grade 1-2 snoring noted, and respiratory disturbance events were most evident in REM while supine. All five stages of sleep were represented. Basically the only thing abnormal was a reduced amount of REM.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: This patient has significant obstructive sleep apnea based on the respiratory disturbance index of 5.1. which anything over 5 is considered significant, plus the amount of time that the patient spent hypoxic, at less than 88%. 29% of the time was spent that way. So I suspect that the patient does have significant obstructive sleep apnea. We will need a second sitting to do the CPAP titration.

The overall impression is obstructive sleep

    Thank you very much for referring Barry along for investigation of possible obstructive sleep apnoea. I agree that he has a high likelihood of the condition given his history of snoring, witness apnoeas and his waking unrefreshed even when he sleeps well. He has symptoms of lethargy and fatigue, but also some sleepiness in passive situations, but reassuringly not whilst driving. He is also concerned by the quality of his sleep. He will go to bed at about 10.30pm, read for half an hour and fall asleep quickly when he turns the lights off. He will however wake after about three hours and will occasionally will find it difficult to get back to sleep and will sometimes read for up to an hour. When he stops reading, he will return to sleep…

Apnea is every pause in breathing and it usually lasts for at least 10 seconds and sometimes even minutes. Apnea pauses can occur 5-30 times in an hour. The disease is diagnosed with a sleep study or polysomnogram, which is an overnight sleep test. It occurs mainly in three forms obstructive, central and mixed or complex sleep apnea, which is a combination of obstructive or central. While in central sleep apnea (CSA) breathing is interrupted by lacking a respiratory effort, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the breathing procedure is interrupted by a physical block to airflow accompanied by snoring.…
