Conflicts of Interest • Philips Respironics • ResMed Corp • Fisher & Paykel • DeVilbiss • MVAP • Natus • NovaSom • Watermark
Content • Co-Morbid disease state descriptions and the workflow of those disease states as they pass through the sleep disorders center. • COPD • Diabetes • Morbid Obesity • Cardiovascular • Stroke • Gastroesophageal Reflux/Gerd • Metabolic Syndrome • Intake, Clinical and Marketing Aspects
Learning Objectives • 1. Attendee will have a better understanding of the underlying physiology of the co-morbid OSA patient and various aspects of overlap syndrome between disease states. • 2. Attendee will be better able to plan and cope with the complex patients in their sleep labs. • 3. Attendee will learn to grow clinically while realizing the financial opportunity that these patients represent to their sleep centers.
Attendees • Night Technologists • EEG Background • Respiratory Background • Home Care DME • Home Sleep Testing • Lab Managers • Lab Owners • Hospital Administrators • Nursing • Physician Assistants
Introduction • Since 1970 when Stanford opened the first sleep center and Dr. Guilleminault later described Obstructive Sleep Apnea(OSA), many studies have been conducted regarding associated disease states.
Introduction Cont’d • Many studies have linked OSA to co-morbid disease states and conditions such as: • Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Disease • Congestive Heart Failure – 76% • A-Fib, - 49% • Diabetes – 48% • Obesity - 77% • Stroke • Spinal Cord Injury • Reflux/Gerd • End Stage Renal – 10 times Greater than General Population • Headaches, COPD, Cancer, Metabolic Syndrome
Medicare Readmissions Policy • Many Co-Morbid disease states that are associated with OSA are being targeted by Medicare as criteria, for financial penalties to Medical Centers where readmissions occurs, within 30 days of discharge. • This puts a spotlight on Diagnosis and Treatment of OSA and its associated co-morbid disease states as an integral part of a medical centers financial integrity plan.
COPD • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease • Two Components • Chronic Bronchitis – Productive cough, three months of the year, two or more successive years. • Emphysema - Abnormal enlargement of the airspaces in the lungs with destruction to the cell walls. • Primarily caused by cigarette smoking.
COPD Medications • Oxygen – Physician’s Orders • Theophylline • Ipratropium bromide • Advair’ • Symbicort • Daliresp • Theophylline • Atrovert • Serevent • Salmeterol • Formeterol • Proventol/Ventolin/Abuterol - Nebulizers
COPD Referral Sources • Pulmonologists • Hospitalists • Internal • Family • Internal Medicine • Oncologists
COPD Intake Concerns • Oxygen ? • Liter Flow ? Hypoxic Drive Candidate • Mobility ? • Additional Caretakers? • Medications? • Nebulizers • Short Acting Acute • Long Acting Maintenance Recent Hospitalizations??
COPD Night of Study • Shortness of Breath (SOB) • Ambulation • Oxygen Protocols • Emergency Protocols • Detailed H&P in Chart • Medication Schedules • Thorough Chart Review Early!!!!!
COPD and the Record • High CO2 – 35 Normal>>>50+ • Low Spo2 – 90% to 97%>>>>88% or less • Hypoventilation • Centrals During Titration • Supplemental Oxygen as needed • PVCs, PACs, Uni and Multi-Focal, V-Tach • High Heart Rates • A-Fib
COPD OSA “Overlap Syndrome” • 1. Impaired Lungs plus OSA • 2. COPD and OSA jointly contribute • 3. More nocturnal desaturations • 4. Reduction in respiratory drive-HV • 5. Chest wall hyperinflation causes muscle fatigue in these patients. • 6. COPD has systemic consequences • 7. CO2 High(Retainers), Spo2 Low
Overlap Syndrome Conclusions • Overlap syndrome increases risk of death and hospitalization due to COPD. • PAP treatment with or without oxygen is associated with better patient outcomes along with decreased hospitalizations. • Less readmissions for these patients
Diabetes • Impairment of the body’s ability to use blood sugar for energy. • Type 1- Insulin producing Beta cells in pancreas destroyed. • Type 2- Most common 90% to 95%, Weight, Food • Insulin resistance by body, so pancreas overproduces • Gestational - during pregnancy-Usually Temp • Over 6 million in the US alone

Diabetes Sleep Loss Effects • Frequent urination common during PSG • Sleep loss leads to: • Altered glucose and metabolism • Reduced Leptin/Increased Ghrelin • Up regulation of appetite/weight gain • Lower energy = Weight Gain(OSA Factor) • Insulin resistance = Type 2 • Increased Risk for Diabetes • Adapted from Parker, K.P.
