Abstract :

[en] Obstructive Sleep apnea (OSA) is the most frequently encountered sleep disorder. It is characterized by repetitive and intermittent closure of the upper airway and is associated with significant predictable peri-operative cardiorespiratory co-morbidities. This pathology is under-diagnosed, even though it can be encountered in a third of the surgical population. Its complexity and heterogeneity make the perioperative management of those patients a challenge and requires adaptation. This article describes the pathophysiology of the condition, and its perioperative management. It revisits management algorithms and care pathways, to provide the reader with up-to-date information for the improvement of patient care.
