Publisher Description
Surgical patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) are more likely than non-OSA surgical patients to suffer post-operative complications. (See: Gupta et al. "Postoperative Complications in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Undergoing Hip or Knee Replacement: A Case-Control Study" Mayo Clin Proc. 2001;76:897-905, and Liao et al. "Postoperative complications in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a retrospective matched cohort study" Can J Anesth/J Can Anesth (2009) 56:819–828)
The Obstructive Sleep Apnea Screener (OSAS) provides four OSA screening tools including:
·The American Society of Anesthesiologists’ Checklist
·The Berlin questionnaire
·The STOP Questionnaire: Snoring, Tired, Observed breathing disruption, high blood Pressure
·The STOP-BANG questionnaire: comprised of the STOP Questionnaire with further questions for BMI, Age, Neck circumference and Gender.
The OSAS software obviates the need for memorization of these tests and referral to textbooks or journals to administer the screens correctly. Users have access to these screens at their fingertips. Using these screens, physicians can determine the general likelihood (low or high) of a patient suffering from OSA. This application will be particularly useful for physicians obtaining patient history prior to surgery, so that they may be better prepared to deal with complications if they arise.
Once data is input, the likelihood of OSA is recalculated for each category and questionnaire and the results are displayed at the bottom of the screen. Statements for categories within each test and for the overall result of the test are shown with highlighting according to the result:
·Category results will have either no background to indicate a normal, non-positive result, or they will have a yellow background to indicate that the patient is positive for that category.
·Overall results are color coded blue to indicate a low probability of OSA, or red to indicate that OSA is likely to be present in the patient according to the particular questionnaire.
