Brief summary
* 1\. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) could be performed with or without extracorporeal circulation (ECC). * 2\. OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) could be influenced by in intravenous perfusion. * 3\. ECC could influence the amount of intravenous perfusion administered to the patient. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of ECC on the development of OSA.
Detailed description
* 1\. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) could be performed with or without extracorporeal circulation (ECC). * 2\. OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) could be influenced by in intravenous perfusion. * 3\. ECC could influence the amount of intravenous perfusion administered to the patient. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of ECC on the development of OSA. The AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index) will be used to assess this potential influence.
Interventions
A polysomnography will be performed for all of the patients the day before surgery (value of reference), and on the second postoperative day (in order to examine the influence of ECC on the development of OSA).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in the AHI | 3 days | Change from baseline AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index, which is the average amount of apnea and hypopnea per four of sleep) at the 3rd postoperative day. The AHI is derived from the polysomnography which will be performed to all of the patients the day before surgery and the 3rd postoperative day. |
