Summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disturbance that can cause intermittent hypoxia, hypercapnia, and sleep structure disorders. The presence of OSA is associated with worse outcomes after surgery including increased incidence of complications. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy can improve oxygenation of OSA patients by maintaining a certain positive pressure in the nasopharyngeal cavity. Previous studies showed that, dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia can improve sleep quality and pain relief. The investigators hypothesize that, for high-risk OSA patients following major non-cardiac surgery with HFNC therapy, dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia can improve sleep quality. The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to investigate the impact of dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia on sleep quality in high-risk OSA patients after major non-cardiac surgery.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Dexmedetomidine

Patient-controlled analgesia is provided for at least 24 hours but no more than 48 hours. The pump is established with morphine (0.5 mg/ml) and dexmedetomidine (1.25 microgram/ml), in a total volume of 160 ml normal saline, and programmed to deliver 2-ml boluses at 6 to 8-minute lockout intervals with a background infusion rate of 1 ml/h.

DRUG

Placebo

Patient-controlled analgesia is provided for at least 24 hours but no more than 48 hours. The pump is established with morphine (0.5 mg/ml), in a total volume of 160 ml normal saline, and programmed to deliver 2-ml boluses at 6 to 8-minute lockout intervals with a background infusion rate of 1 ml/h.
