TLDR
The incidence of postoperative desaturation, respiratory failure, postoperative cardiac events, and ICU transfers was higher in patients with OSA, and a significant degree of heterogeneity of the effect among studies was found.
Abstract
Results. Thirteen studies were included in the final analysis (n¼3942). OSA was associated with significantly higher odds of any postoperative cardiac events [45/1195 (3.76%) vs 24/1420 (1.69%); odds ratio (OR) 2.07; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23‐3.50, P¼0.007] and ARF [33/ 1680 (1.96%) vs 24/3421 (0.70%); OR 2.43, 95% CI 1.34‐4.39, P¼0.003]. Effects were not heterogeneous for these outcomes (I 2 ¼0‐15%, P.0.3). OSA was also significantly associated with higher odds of desaturation [189/1764 (10.71%) vs 105/1881 (5.58%); OR 2.27, 95% CI 1.20‐4.26, P¼0.01] and ICU transfer [105/2062 (5.09%) vs 58/3681 (1.57%), respectively; OR 2.81, 95% CI 1.46‐5.43, P¼0.002]. Both outcomes showed a significant degree of heterogeneity of the effect among studies (I 2 ¼57‐68%, P,0.02). Subgroup analyses had similar conclusions as main analyses. Conclusions. The incidence of postoperative desaturation, respiratory failure, postoperative

TL;DR: Preoperative optimization of co-morbidities, smoking cessation, and correction of anaemia, in addition to intraoperative protective ventilation strategies and appropriate management of neuromuscular blocking drugs, reduces PPCs.

Society of Anesthesia and Sleep Medicine Guidelines on Preoperative Screening and Assessment of Adult Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

TL;DR: The purpose of the Society of Anesthesia and Sleep Medicine guideline on preoperative screening and assessment of adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea is to present recommendations based on the available clinical evidence where possible, and these recommendations reflect the current state of knowledge and its interpretation by a group of experts in the field at the time of publication.

Proportion of surgical patients with undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea

TL;DR: It is found that anaesthetists and surgeons failed to identify a significant number of patients with pre-existing OSA and symptomatic undiagnosed OSA, before operation, and may provide an impetus for more diligent case finding of OSA before operation.

Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis

TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.
