Objectives Review the stages of sleep

Describe types of sleep disordered breathing with focus on OSA

Compare and contrast the normal and OSA airway

Describe the pathophysiology and clinical consequences of OSA

Review evidence on OSA related to:

Opioid effects

Screening

Difficult airway

PACU & Postoperative Complications

List perioperative precautions that may reduce risks in OSA patients

Clinical Vignette 56 y/o male scheduled for ex lap for sigmoid resection

PMH-HTN, obesity (BMI 48), DM II, colon cancer

PSH- none

Meds- HCTZ, metoprolol, glyburide

Clinical Vignette What is the likelihood that this patient has

undiagnosed OSA?

If he has OSA, how severe is it?

What other comorbidities might he have secondary to his OSA?

Is he a potentially difficult airway?

Does having OSA increase his risks for perioperative complications?

What perioperative OSA precautions can I use to minimize his risks?

Stages of Sleep Non-REM (non-rapid eye mvt)

3 stages

Stage 3 physically restorative sleep

Stage 3reduced muscle tone

REM

Most muscles paralyzed/relaxed

Potential collapse of upper airway

Lack of REM may impair ability to learn complex tasks

Sleep impairment

interferes w/ growth patterns, memory, healing, & immune response

OSA Definition

Characterized chronic, frequent events of airway obstruction during sleep Sxs: snoring, witnessed apnea, & daytime sleepiness

Secondary HTN

During sleep OSA patients experience: Frequent episodes of apnea and/or hypopnea

Frequent oxygen desaturation

Chronic hypercarbia and hypoxemia

Frequent Arousals

Reduced Non-REM Stage 3 & REM sleep

OSA Risk Factors

Male gender

Obesity (BMI>29) present in 60-90% of OSA pts

Non-obese craniofacial & orofacial abnormalities (i.e, enlarged

tonsils)

Family hx

Large neck circumference (>17 in male, >16 in female)

Smoking and alcohol use

Medications-sedatives, opioids

Measures of Sleep Apnea Frequency Polysomnography

Apnea / Hypopnea Index (AHI)

# apneas + hypopneas per hour of sleep

Oxygen desaturation index (ODI)

Number of desaturations of ≥4% per hour of sleep

ODI of >5 high likelihood of OSA

Challenges with Screening Incorporated into EMR &

preop workflow

Auto-calculated score

Score 5 to flag as high risk

8 months = 12,500 necks measured

Implementing auto-sleep study referral not possible

“Altering medical assistant and nurse practitioner workflows in the clinic was straightforward…. …but changing our anesthesia providers’ workflow has not yet been successful. While some of the variables can be derived from demographics and patient history, ... …obtaining neck circumference measurements and asking the additional screening questions adds extra time …..”

Robert Stoelting, MD, President, Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation: “Clinically significant drug-induced respiratory depression (oxygenation and/or ventilation) in the postoperative period remains a serious patient safety risk that continues to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality.”

•JC Screen patients for respiratory depression risk factors (see sidebar).

Preoperative Implications OSA prevalence 22-43%

>80% of patients have OSA and don’t know it

Have high index of suspicion for coexisting diseases HTN, CAD, DM, atrial fibrillation

Difficult airway

Should develop screening process for undiagnosed OSA Polysomnography & initiation of CPAP when possible

Use the STOP-BANG

Requires multidisciplinary team, buy-in & support at all levels

“Anesthesia Providers could potentially impact a significant public health burden and reduce the percentage of undiagnosed OSA patients in major ways: proper implementation of screening guidelines, optimization of interventional therapy (e.g., CPAP) perioperatively and ensuring follow up by sleep physician postoperatively” “Our Role does not stop within the confines of the operating room or the PACU. “ “Specialist sleep physician referral and appropriate therapy are crucial in long term cardiac and cerebrovascular outcomes”….

Results

DI rate = 3.3%

No relationship between OSA dx and difficult intubation in bariatric pts(P = NS)

Predictors of DI = >MP 2 & male gender

Meligan et al Anesth Analg 2009;109: 1182-1186

Implications Men with severe OSA & large necks at greatest risk

Airway surgery for OSA may be risk

Be prepared for difficult mask and intubation!

Ramp obese pts & optimize sniffing position

Backup device (indirect video laryngoscopy, LMA)

Call for help early!

Why???? • Higher vigilance in those dx w/ OSA?

• Some Non-SDB group could have had

undiagnosed OSA?

Does Technique Matter?

• Neuraxial anesthesia +/- GA associated with improved outcomes

• Reduced odds of major complications, requirement for critical care admission (especially for neuraxial anesthesia alone), or mechanical ventilation

• Associated with reduced hospital length of stay and costs.

• Randomized N = 177 OSA patients (AHI>15) to auto-titrated CPAP • started 3 days prior to surgery or routine care

• CPAP significantly reduced postoperative AHI • Low compliance

• <48% of patients used the CPAP >4h per night

CPAP adherence in patients with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea prior to elective surgery. Guralnick AS, Pant M, Minhaj M, Sweitzer BJ, Mokhlesi B. Methods: Pre-surgical patients who screened positive for OSA on the STOP-Bang questionnaire and underwent PSG before surgery. CPAP was offered to patients with moderate or severe OSA. Results: Median Adherence only 2.5 h/n Conclusion: Adherence to prescribed CPAP therapy during the perioperative period was extremely low.

Postoperative Implications Known or suspected OSA patients increased risk for

postoperative pulmonary/respiratory complications

Hypoxemia

Need for higher level of care

CPAP improves postop AHI, but compliance poor

Neuraxial improved outcomes reduced costs

Mod-Sev OSA may need continuous ETCO2 +/- SPO2

Perioperative OSA Precautions • Need to ID those with known or suspected OSA (especially moderate-severe)

• Minimize preoperative sedation

• Prepare for possible difficult airway

• Minimize use of long acting opioids. Consider utilizing multimodal analgesic techniques

and regional anesthesia when possible

• Utilize short acting inhaled or intravenous anesthetics intraoperatively

• Utilize capnography during monitored anesthetic care

• Ensure patient is full reversal of neuromuscular blockade. Ensure patient is fully

conscious and cooperative prior to extubation

• Utilize non-supine posture for extubation and recovery

• Resume or consider use of CPAP therapy in patients with OSA

• Have plan for postop monitoring. Consider continuous ETCO2 +/- SPO2

Society of Ambulatory Anesthesia Consensus Guidelines 2012

• Recommend screening with STOP-BANG & presume patient has OSA based on sxs

• Literature unclear of benefit of sleep study or CPAP on postop outcomes

• Non-optimzed patients may not be suitable for ambulatory surgery

• Optimal duration of CPAP therapy prior to surgery unknown

• Recommend nonopioid analgesic/multimodal techniques especially for painful ambulatory surgery

• Encourage patients w/ OSA to use CPAP postop whenever sleep

• Educate surgeons, patient and family on minimizing opioids, use of CPAP, and sleeping in lateral position

• Patients should f/u with primary care MD for sleep study postop if identified as high risk

for OSA based on STOP-BANG
