Impact of Functional Conservation Surgery on Sleep Respiration of Patients with Glottic Cancer.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine 2024 January 32
OBJECTIVE: Laryngeal cancer is a common tumor in the head and neck, and surgery is one of the main treatment methods for laryngeal cancer. Laryngeal cancer surgery destroys the laryngeal cartilage scaffold, leading to structural changes in the laryngeal cavity and affecting respiratory compliance during sleep. However, less attention has been paid to the impact of changes in laryngeal structure on sleep breathing conditions. This article conducts a prospective study on the effects of preserving laryngeal function in cancer glottic surgery on sleep and respiratory status in patients, in order to understand the preoperative and postoperative OSAHS(obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome) of glottic cancer patients , as well as the impact of surgery on OSAHS of patients. Provide a reference for improving the sleep quality of postoperative patients with laryngeal cancer.
METHODS: 47 patients with glottic cancer who underwent laryngeal function preservation surgeries were studied. They are divided into 28 cases of T1 and T2, who underwent vertical lateral frontal partial laryngectomy (VLFPL), and 19 cases of T3 and T4 who underwent vertical lateral frontal subtotal laryngectomy (VLFSL). All patients' sleep breathing statuses were recorded using a portable sleep breathing monitor one week before surgery and two months after the removal of the tracheal cannula. Analyze the proportion of OSAHS in the 47 patients before and after surgery and compare the obstructive sleep apnea scores of these patients using the Wilcoxon rank sum test of paired grade data. The paired data t-test was used to analyze the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), apnea index (AI), hypopnea index (HI), minimum blood oxygen saturation (LSaO2), and mean blood oxygen saturation (MSaO2) of all study subjects, patients undergoing VLFPL and VLFSL.
RESULTS: 1. Among the 47 patients with glottic cancer, 42.6% (20 / 47) were in line with OSAHS before the operation, and 57.4% (27 / 47) were in line with OSAHS after the operation. 47 patients showed an increasing trend in the OSAHS scores (no, mild, moderate, and severe) after surgery compared to the before-surgery scores, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). 2. Among the 47 study subjects, AHI and HI increased after surgery compared to preoperative, while LSaO2 and MSaO2 decreased after surgery compared to preoperative (P < .05); There was no statistically significant difference between postoperative and preoperative AI (P > .05). Among 28 patients undergoing VLFPL, LSaO2 decreased after surgery compared to before surgery (P < .05) and there was no statistically significant difference in AHI, AI, MSaO2, and HI after surgery compared to before surgery (P > .05). Among 19 patients undergoing VLFSL, AHI, and HI increased after surgery, while LSaO2 and MSaO2 decreased after surgery (P < .05) and there was no statistically significant difference in postoperative AI compared to preoperative (P > .05).
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of OSAHS in patients with glottic cancer before and after surgery was higher than that in the general population. The effect of functional preservation surgery on sleep breathing in patients with glottic cancer is related to the degree of destruction of the thyroid cartilage scaffold and the scope of surgery. Surgery mainly increases the degree of OSAHS by aggravating patients' hypoventilation rather than apnea.
