Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by repetitive upper airway collapse during sleep, is estimated to affect nearly 1 billion people worldwide. OSA is a common comorbidity in people undergoing surgical procedures, with rates as high as 91% in those undergoing bariatric surgery. OSA is an important risk factor for adverse postoperative outcomes including cardiac complications, opioid-induced ventilatory depression, and unplanned intensive care unit transfers. Given these risks, preoperative identification of people with OSA is recommended by society guidelines.
