OSA May Be an Unrecognized Cause of Anesthesia Accident
Sleep apnea has not been included in the clinical understanding of anesthesia accident.Especially when complications occur during and after general anesthesia,it is believed that the most common causes are reflux,aspiration,hypoxia,oxygen inhalation,respiratory depression,acute respiratory failure,and delayed postoperative recovery,and obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)is rarely dis-cussed.In recent years,with awareness of the harm of OSA,it was found that the problems arising during surgical anesthesia may be related to OSA.Based on long-term clinical experience,this study speculated that OSA may be an unrecognized and neglected cause of anesthesia accidents(mainly general anesthesia).On the basis of sorting out the high risk factors and morbidity conditions leading to OSA,this study analyzed and expounded the process of speculation in sequence,and focused on the relationship between OSA and anes-thesia accidents,to analyze the causes of anesthesia accidents caused by OSA,and emphasized the importance of fully understanding the harm of anesthesia accidents caused by OSA.It is pointed out that a series of adverse consequences may occur in OSA patients without necessary screening diagnosis and intervention before operation and anesthesiologists should strengthen the perioperative management of OSA patients.
