Outcomes of Positive Pressure Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Following Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to:

  1. Evaluate if there are detrimental effects of restarting CPAP therapy on POD #0-1 in patients undergoing ESS compared to normal controls undergoing ESS without OSA.

  2. Determine if there a difference in perception of pain and post-operative analgesia requirement in OSA patients restarting CPAP on POD #0-1 compared to non-OSA patients.

  3. Determine if there are predictive factors for OSA patients undergoing ESS who require an overnight hospitalization after surgery.

  4. Validate the nocturnal Rhinoconjuctivitis Quality of Life (nRQLQ) questionnaire in the CRS population.
