Sleep disturbances after open heart surgery.

W C Orr, M L Stahl

    The American Journal of Cardiology
    |February 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Open heart surgery patients experience significant sleep disruptions, including reduced rapid eye movement (REM) and slow wave sleep, lasting beyond hospital recovery. Thoracic surgery without bypass showed quicker sleep pattern normalization.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Sleep Medicine
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Post-surgical sleep disturbances are common but poorly quantified.
    • Open heart surgery (OHS) and thoracic surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) have different impacts on sleep.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantitatively document sleep disturbances after OHS.
    • To compare sleep changes in OHS patients versus those undergoing thoracic surgery without CPB.
    • To assess the duration of sleep disruptions post-surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized overnight polysomnography to record sleep patterns.
    • Studied nine patients: six post-OHS and three post-thoracotomy (pneumonectomy).
    • Conducted pre-operative, post-operative, and up to 5-week follow-up sleep recordings.

    Main Results:

    • OHS patients exhibited significant suppression of REM and slow wave sleep.
    • Thoracotomy patients showed sleep index normalization occurring much earlier.
    • Stage 2 sleep reappeared by the first post-op night in some thoracotomy patients.

    Conclusions:

    • OHS leads to acute and chronic sleep disruptions extending beyond hospitalization.
    • Sleep disturbances post-OHS are clinically relevant for patient recovery and management.
    • Thoracic surgery without CPB results in less persistent sleep alterations compared to OHS.
