 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and prevention of complications post-operative care [Abstract] Objective To investigate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, OSAS) line temperature controlled radiofrequency ablation assisted upper airway surgery (coblation assisted upper airway proce-dure, CAUP) on the effective care and prevention of complications approach. Methods From January 2003 -2007 as of December 835 OSAS patients underwent treatment CAUP retrospectively. Results 755 cases (90.4%) patients were discharged 4 days postoperatively as expected; 52 cases (6.2 %) were due to swelling, bleeding, pain and other factors delayed 3 to 6 days and discharged; 28 cases (3.4%) patients due to bleeding, suture loss surgery and other reasons again. Conclusion mission to enhance the preoperative care, guidance relaxation training, patients should strengthen the observation post, oral care and functional training, continuous low flow oxygen to ensure the expected therapeutic effect. [Keywords:] Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; post-operative care; complications Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a kind of sleep disorders, has been demonstrated OSAS are hypertension, coronary heart disease (including myocardial infarction) and stroke were independent risk factors such as disease [1,2]. And controllable low-temperature radio frequency plasma volume reduction on respiratory tract (CAUP) or increase bilateral tonsillectomy is an effective treatment of severe OSAS surgical approach can be effective in the overall expansion of the upper airway to improve ventilation. now 835 cases in our hospital or add CAUP Bilateral tonsillectomy surgery nursing experience are summarized below. 1 Clinical data Our hospital in January 2003 on December -2007 835 OSAS patients, because the line CAUP treatment retrospectively. Results 755 cases (90.4%) patients were discharged 4 days postoperatively as expected; 52 case
