Surprising results after surgery - car54 - 09-15-2017

I was put under yesterday for about 1.5 hours for a hernia surgery. At night I had to sleep on my back loaded up with oxycodone. I was expecting my RDI to be sky high but it was only 2.11!

You should have an operation every day and your apnea will be cured!

your pressure was enough to keep the airway open.

Oxycodone reduces REM and slow-wave sleep. Breathing events typically take place during these two stages of sleep. So you had less events because the quality of your sleep architecture was lower.

Hi car54,
I hope you have a speedy recovery.
