Brief Summary

Hypotheses:

  1. 1.Postoperative oxygen therapy significantly improves postoperative oxygenation in OSA surgical patients.
  2. 2.Postoperative oxygen therapy do not significantly increase the number of apnea episodes and the duration of apnea episodes.
  3. 3.Postoperative oxygen therapy do not significantly increase arterial carbon dioxide(CO2) level in OSA surgical patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Pulse oxygen saturation

    Nocturnal oxygen desaturation index and percentage of time with SaO2\<90% on postoperative night 1 to 3.

    3 nights postoperatively

  • Sleep disordered breathing

    Including apnea hypopnea index, obstructive apnea index, central apnea index, hypopnea index, respiratory arousal index, and average and longest duration for obstructive, central and mixed apnea episodes, and hypopnea episodes on postoperative night 3.

    Postoperative night 3 only

  • Blood CO2 level

    Transcutaneous CO2 level on postoperative night 1-3.

    postoperative night1 to noght 3

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • perioperative clinical adverse events

    30 days after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Oxygen treatment group

EXPERIMENTAL

Besides routine care, patients in this group will receive postoperative oxygen therapy with nasal prolong at 3 liters/min during the first 3 nights after surgery.

Other: Oxygen therapy

Control group

OTHER

Patients will be managed by the anesthesiologists and surgeons as per routine practice.

Other: Control group

Interventions

Besides perioperative routine care provided by anesthesiologists and surgeons, patients will receive postoperative oxygen supplementation with nasal prolong at 3 liters/min during the first 3 nights after surgery.
