Research Abstract |
Nasal CPAP is used to help with airway management in patients with sleep apnea syndrome at bedtime. The current study used nasal CPAP along with IV sedation in clinical dentistry, and this study also examined the clinical effectiveness of improved airway patency during this sedation. Results indicated that use of sedation and nasal CPAP significantly increased SpO2 and significantly decreased PtcCO2 in patients during surgery with the same depth of sedation as when nasal CPAP was not used. Thus, use of nasal CPAP along with IV sedation did not hamper that sedation. Results also suggested that use of nasal CPAP helped to maintain or improve airway patency in patients during surgery in a non-invasive manner.
