Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Pregnancy

Completed

Conditions studied: Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, Pregnancy, Obesity, Morbid

In brief

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk factor for complications during pregnancy and current screening tools for OSA have not been shown to be reliable in pregnant women. The primary aim of this study is to develop a valid screening tool to identify at-risk pregnant women, so that they can be further evaluated and treated. Women with OSA may also be at risk for respiratory complications related to opiate administration for post-cesarean delivery pain. A secondary aim of this study is to evaluate post-operative minute ventilation in women who undergo cesarean delivery using a novel method of non-invasive minute ventilation monitoring.
