Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing : Official Journal of the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses 2018 October
PURPOSE: To enhance the role of nursing interventions in the management of perioperative opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
DESIGN: Narrative review of the literature.
METHODS: Literature reviewed with emphasis on recommendations by professional and accrediting organizations.
FINDINGS: Postsurgical OIRD increases hospital stay (55%), cost of care (47%), 30-day readmission (36%), and inpatient mortality (3.4 fold). OSA increases the risk of OIRD and may result in legal claims averaging $2.5 million per legal claim.
CONCLUSIONS: Nursing interventions are essential to improving outcome and reduce cost in the management of postsurgical OIRD in OSA patients.
