The Study of Clinical Application of Nasal-CPAP for Airway Management in Intraveneous Sedation for Dental Treatment

鼻CPAP用于帮助睡眠呼吸暂停综合征患者在睡前进行气道管理。目前的研究在临床牙科中使用鼻腔CPAP和静脉镇静，本研究还检查了在镇静期间改善气道通畅的临床效果。结果表明，与不使用鼻腔CPAP时相比，在相同镇静深度的手术中，使用镇静和鼻腔CPAP可显著增加SpO2，显著降低PtcCO2。因此，使用鼻腔CPAP与静脉镇静并不妨碍镇静作用。结果还表明，使用鼻腔CPAP有助于在手术期间以无创方式维持或改善患者气道通畅。

Nasal CPAP is used to help with airway management in patients with sleep apnea syndrome at bedtime. The current study used nasal CPAP along with IV sedation in clinical dentistry, and this study also examined the clinical effectiveness of improved airway patency during this sedation. Results indicated that use of sedation and nasal CPAP significantly increased SpO2 and significantly decreased PtcCO2 in patients during surgery with the same depth of sedation as when nasal CPAP was not used. Thus, use of nasal CPAP along with IV sedation did not hamper that sedation. Results also suggested that use of nasal CPAP helped to maintain or improve airway patency in patients during surgery in a non-invasive manner.
