[Expert consensus on perioperative management of adult patients combined with obstructive sleep apnea (2025 edition)].

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disease closely associated with various complications during the perioperative period, such as respiratory failure, hypertension, coronary artery ischemia, arrhythmia, stroke, etc. In recent years, with the increasing prevalence of OSA, the incidence of OSA in patients undergoing surgery has also been increasing. Screening, diagnosis, and treatment of OSA before surgery can help to reduce surgical related complications. At the same time, the management of patients with OSA during the perioperative period also has its own characteristics. In order to enhance the awareness of relevant physicians towards patients with OSA, improve perioperative management of such patients, and thereby reduce perioperative risks, the consensus expert group on perioperative management of adult patients combined with OSA searched and scientifically evaluated domestic and foreign guidelines and clinical research literature, then formulated this expert consensus. The consensus includes early identification of OSA in patients undergoing general anesthesia and monitoring anesthesia, preoperative preparation and intraoperative and postoperative management of OSA patients, etc., in order to provide reference for perioperative management of such patients.
