Influence of Extracorporeal Circulation on the Development of OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea)

Influence of Extracorporeal Circulation on the Development of OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea)

• 1. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) could be performed with or without extracorporeal circulation (ECC).
• 2. OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) could be influenced by in intravenous perfusion.
• 3. ECC could influence the amount of intravenous perfusion administered to the patient.

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of ECC on the development of OSA.

• 3. ECC could influence the amount of intravenous perfusion administered to the patient.

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of ECC on the development of OSA. The AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index) will be used to assess this potential influence.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All of the patients scheduled for an elective CABG

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient's refusal
