Yin G, et al. - In the present study, the researchers analyzed the impacts of short-term postoperative continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the outcomes of velopharyngeal surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The sample consisted of 119 OSA individuals who had velopharyngeal surgery. In patients who have respiratory events associated hypoxia after surgery, short-term postoperative CPAP treatment can improve the outcomes of velopharyngeal surgery for OSA. For the underlying mechanisms, further studies are needed.
