Perianesthesia Nurses' Survey of Their Knowledge and Practice With Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing : Official Journal of the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses 2018 April 19
PURPOSE: Anesthesia, sedation, and analgesia can negatively impact adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Despite known risks, current evidence, and practice guidelines, insufficient evidence exists that standardization and clinical application of OSA screening tools, problem identification, and perioperative nursing intervention and management strategies are consistently implemented for OSA patients across perianesthesia settings. The purpose of this study was to conduct a knowledge and practice assessment of perianesthesia nurses who care for adult patients with diagnosed or undiagnosed OSA.
DESIGN: An anonymous descriptive study was used to survey perianesthesia nurses who care for adult patients with OSA who present for elective surgical procedures.
METHODS: A total of 1,222 participants completed an expert-developed 27-question online survey.
FINDINGS: The findings indicate the need for more education and research across all perianesthesia settings.
CONCLUSIONS: Next steps also include policy development and an interprofessional collaborative infrastructure nurses need to translate evidence-based screening and management strategies into their clinical practice.
