Abstract

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent of sleep apnea. A significant proportion of OSA patients remain undiagnosed when patients present for surgery. These patients may be associated with increased risk of peri and postoperative complications. Screening tools allows risk stratification of the suspected OSA patients. Individualized and tailored patient care is required to decrease the perioperative risks of the known and suspected OSA patients.
