Relación de la apnea obstructiva del sueño y el vo2max en pacientes con sobrepeso u obesidad del hospital san rafael

Abstract

Context: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive partial or complete collapse of the upper airways during sleep, triggering an episodic decrease called hypopnea or cessation (apnea) of airflow beyond respiratory effort, which can be related to pathologies that directly affect the respiratory system and prevent the current flow of air, such as obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or heart failure. (Hidalgo-Martínez & Lobelo, 2017). Objective: To determine the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and VO2MAX in overweight or obese patients at San Rafael Hospital. Methodology: The research design of this study is cross-sectional with correlational scope with a non-probabilistic sample design for convenience, where a total of five (5) patients participated. The test was performed under the Astrand protocol, to measure the perception of effort the modified Borg scale was used and data collection was carried out under the hospital's own format, where heart rate (Fc), oxygen saturation (Sat02) and peripheral and central effort perception were documented every minute. Main results and conclusions: Subjects with obesity diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea presented a VO2Max of 19.25 ml/kg/min (2.7±), lower compared to people without the syndrome, who presented an average of 26.95 ml/kg/min (2.4±), therefore, it was identified that OSA presents negative alterations in oxygen consumption during exercise.
