Comparação entre a estratificação de risco da presença da apneia obstrutiva do sono em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca por diferentes instrumentos de avaliação.

Abstract

Contextualization: Studies demonstrate the relationship between Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and the development of cardiovascular diseases. OSA screening instruments such as the STOPBANG Questionnaire (SBQ), the Berlin Questionnaire (BQ), and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) may be useful for research on heart disease. Objective: To compare the risk of the presence of OSAS stratified by the STOPBANG questionnaire with the risk stratified by the Berlin questionnaire and to additionally verify the presence of excessive daytime sleepiness by the Epworth sleepiness scale in patients submitted to cardiac surgery accompanied in an in-hospital cardiorespiratory rehabilitation program. Method: A qualitative study with descriptive cross-sectional design, performed with patients submitted to cardiac surgery, of both sexes, submitted to a script with anamnesis and 3 questionnaires, the data were analyzed through SigmaPlot 11.0 Software through mean and standard deviation. Results: 26 volunteers, 13 men and 13 women with a mean age of 60, 5 ± 9, 4 years were evaluated, where 9 (34, 6%) presented a high risk for OSA in SBQ, 11 (42, 3%) in BQ and 2 (7.6%) in ESE. Conclusion: We conclude that QSB, QB are useful tools for stratification of OSA risk in patients submitted to cardiac surgery, and we can observe a greater agreement between the results obtained by the SBQ and the BQ when compared to the results found by ESS.
