Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Difficult airway management remains the leading cause of anaesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a warning sign of difficult airway management. Polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosis of this syndrome, but the STOP-BANG questionnaire is the preferred screening test. In this study, we wanted to find an answer to the question How successful is the STOP-BANG questionnaire in screening for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in predicting OSAS, difficult mask and difficult intubation in patients undergoing thoracic surgery?

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control

Easy airway: unassisted mask ventilation, ventilation without the need for an airway, achieving oxygen saturation above 90% during mask ventilation, and unassisted intubation with less than three attempts.

STOP BANG

Intervention Type OTHER

The STOP-Bang Questionnaire is intended to give physicians an easy-to-use tool to identify people who might have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The questionnaire consists of eight yes-or-no questions based on the major risk factors for OSA. A STOP-Bang score of 2 or less is considered low risk, and a score of 5 or more is high risk for having either moderate or severe OSA. For people who score 3 or 4, doctors may need to perform further assessment to determine how likely they are to have OSA.

Difficult airway

Difficult airway: assisted mask ventilation, need for airway during ventilation, oxygen saturation falling below 90% during mask ventilation, assisted intubation, intubation attempt three and above
