Practice Guidelines for the Perioperative Management of Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea:
A Report by the American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Perioperative Management of Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
These guidelines have been created to focus on perioperative risk which increases with severity of sleep apnoea in obstructive sleep apnoea patients. Adverse outcomes have been reported in OSA patients especially those under sedation, anesthesia and analgesia for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The guidelines will be useful in trying to minimize the perioperative morbidity and mortality.
The American Society of Anesthesiologists recommends that surgeons work with anesthesiologists to evaluate and prepare a perioperative management plan for patients with OSA. The evaluation should work around the severity of the patient’s OSA, the invasiveness of the diagnostic or therapeutic procedure, and the requirement for postoperative analgesics when determining whether a patient is at increased perioperative risk from OSA.
