What is Sleep Study Measures on Postoperative Night 1 Following Implantation of the Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator about?

## Objective To examine the changes in measures of sleep apnea severity and hypoxemia on the first postoperative night following implantation of the hypoglossal nerve stimulator. ## Study Design This was a single‐arm prospective cohort study. ## Setting A single academic sleep surgical practice. ## Methods Subjects with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea underwent implantation of the hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HGNS) and were discharged to home the same day as surgery. A single‐night WatchPAT study was performed on the night immediately following surgery (PON 1) and was compared to baseline sleep testing. ## Results Twenty subjects who were an average of 58.6 ± 2.5 years old, were 25% female, and had a mean body mass index of 28.1 ± 0.9 kg/m^2^ completed the study. Mean O~2~ nadir at baseline was 79.6% ± 1.1% compared to 82.7% ± 0.9% (P =. 013) on PON 1. One patient demonstrated a >10% worsening in O~2~ nadir. Only 2 additional patients demonstrated a worsening in O~2~ nadir on PON 1, each by only 1 percentage point. Neither mean time spent below SpO~2~ 88% nor oxygen desaturation index (ODI) worsened postoperatively (mean time spent below oxygen saturation of 88%, 27.8 ±
