Abstract

Obstrutive sleep apnea Syndrome (OSA) is the most prevalent respiratory sleep disorder worldwide. It is estimated to have a prevalence in the general population of 9 to 38% and an underdiagnosis rate of up to 90%. The prevalence of OSA in the surgical population is higher than in the general population, with a higher incidence in the bariatric surgery, and may reach 80% of this patients.

OSA is an independent risk factor for increased mortality in the general population and is associated with an increased risk of perioperative complications, higher in undiagnosed patients. In this group of patients, the highest incidence of cardiopulmonary complications, longer length of stay and need for hospitalization in the intensive care unit.

This document results from the joint work of the Portuguese Society of Anesthesiology (SPA) and the Portuguese Society of Pneumology (SPP) and aims to create a national consensus document on the orientation of perioperative OSA patients. To this end, a working group consisting of eight members appointed by each of the societies who reviewed the most recent publications of international working groups was appointed. The national reality context was taken into account in the elaboration of this consensus. Its implementation should be adapted to the reality of each hospital unit.
