[Maternal-infant outcome of patients with OSAHS and gestational hypertension treated by CPAP].

Objective

To explore the clinical characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) diagnosed during pregnancy.To explore the effect on maternal and infant after treated with CPAP.Method:Data of 117 patients with OSAHS diagnosed by nocturnal blood oxygen saturation (SaO₂) monitoring and PSG during pregnancy were analyzed retrospectively. All the 117 patients were voluntary and divided into intervention group [received continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment with good compliance under informed consent and conventional drug] 70 cases and control group(received conventional drug) 47 cases. Record the relevant data during the treatment about maternal and infant.Result:There was no statistical significance on the difference of cesarean delivery and postpartum hemorrhage in the pregnant women with mild OSAHS (P> 0.05), there was no statistical significance on the difference of cesarean delivery and postpartum hemorrhage in the pregnant women with moderate OSAHS (P> 0.05) and there were statistical significance on the difference of cesarean delivery and postpartum hemorrhage in the pregnant women with severe OSAHS (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01). There was no statistical significance on the difference of asphyxia neonatorum, fetal growth restriction and fetal distress in the pregnant women with mild OSAHS (P> 0.05), there were statistical significance on the difference of fetal growth restriction and fetal distress in the pregnant women with moderate OSAHS (P< 0.05), and there were statistical significance on the difference of asphyxia neonatorum, fetal growth restriction and fetal distress in the pregnant women with severe OSAHS (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01).

Conclusion

Pregnant women who have OSAHS risk factors should be paid attention to during the perinatal care and nocturnal SaO₂ monitoring or PSG should be performed in the suspected OSAHS patients. Strongly advise that those serious OSAHS patients should be treated by CPAP early before delivery. CPAP was a safe and effective treatment to OSAHS patients in pregnancy.
