Correlação entre síndrome da apneia obstrutiva e via aérea difícil na cirurgia otorrinolaringológica

Abstract

The STOP Bang questionnaire was not able to predict difficult airway and mild obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, but it identified marked obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. All patients with difficult airway had moderate and marked obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, although this syndrome did not involve difficult airway. The variables Cormack III/IV and BMI greater than 35 Kg.m were able to predict difficult airway and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, respectively.

Anesthesia management in an adult patient with sleep-disordered breathing and difficult intubation: A case report

“…A study utilizing a questionnaire to predict difficult airway among patients diagnosed with OSA undergoing ENT surgery reported that 18.7% of patients with OSA syndrome have difficult airways of Cormack III/IV. [ 12 ] Measures such as “proper body and head position, sufficient preoxygenation, effective airway maneuvers, and continuous assessment of ventilation may help to reduce respiratory complications during anesthesia induction”. [ 13 ] In our case, monitoring was performed with plethysmograph, capnograph, and electrocardiogram.…”
