Obstructive sleep apnea is common in the US population. It is estimated that 37% of adults have sleep apnea and that 80% of the cases of moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea are undiagnosed. One study showed that diagnosing sleep apnea and prescribing CPAP therapy prior to surgery significantly reduced postoperative cardiovascular complications specifically cardiac arrest and shock by more than half. Based on the estimate that 80% of the cases of OSA are undiagnosed, a significant proportion of patients presenting for surgery may be at risk. Several case studies will be presented describing medical malpractice claims associated with the post-operative deaths of patients with OSA. This activity seeks to provide the strategies needed for physicians of all specialties to reduce morbidity and mortality when their patients with sleep apnea need surgery.
