RESUMO
Polysomnography is the gold standard method for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea. However, the gap between demand and capacity in performig polysomnography is a major healthcare problem. We sought to compare a short day-time induced sleep with full overnight standard PSG (full PSG) monitoring for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. We studied 40 patients classified into subjects with obstructive sleep apnea (n=18, age= 46.8 + 9.1yr) and controls (n=22, age= 38.5 + 10,7yr) groups, based on the results of a full polysomnography (apnea-hypopnea index >= 15 events/hour). All subjects underwent a short day-time polysomnography. Sleep was induced by slow intravenous drip infusion of midazolam and achived in all subjects. Total time of induced sleep was 41.5 ± 18.9 min. The majority of the respiratory events during induced sleep were obstructive and similar to that observed during full polysomnography. There was no difference between apnea-hypopnea index obtained by full and short polysomnography in obstructive sleep apnea and control groups (p>0,05). The same occured to lowest O2 saturation. Taken all together, apnea-hypopnea index and lowest O2 saturation during short polysomnography correlated well with full polysomnography (r=0,67 and r=0,77, respectively). Sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea by induced sleep was 0,83 and 0,72, respectively. No complications were observed. Induced sleep PSG by midazolan is a short and safe study that may represent an alternative for full polysomnography in the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.
