    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Nursing
    • Sleep Medicine

    Background:

    • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) poses risks during anesthesia, sedation, and analgesia.
    • Current guidelines highlight the need for standardized OSA screening and management in perianesthesia settings.
    • Evidence suggests inconsistent implementation of OSA protocols for patients undergoing surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the knowledge and practices of perianesthesia nurses regarding obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
    • To identify gaps in the care of adult patients with diagnosed or undiagnosed OSA in perianesthesia settings.

    Main Methods:

    • An anonymous, descriptive online survey was conducted.
    • 1,222 perianesthesia nurses participated.
    • The survey assessed knowledge and practices related to OSA patient care.
