Blast from the past: Revised data, evolving standards for OSA care in the perioperative setting
An estimated 22 million Americans were believed to have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in 2019, according to data cited in a February 2019 article published by OR Manager. At that time, up to 80% of cases were undiagnosed, and 30% to 40% of the surgical patient population was believed to have diagnosed or suspected OSA. The risks of perioperative complications led organizations like The Joint Commission to issue safety alerts and guidelines for inpatient screening.
