Abstract:
Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAS)is a disease characterized by intermittent complete or partial upper airway obstruction accompanied by hypoxemia during sleep and is a common cause of difficult intubation.Patients with confirmed or highly suspected OSAS are usually at higher risk for difficult airways.Prediction of difficult airway in OSAS patients is of great significance to prevent perioperative adverse events.The current assessment tools for difficult airways are varied and evaluated inconsistently.In this article,we provide an overview of the various types of predictors of difficult intubation in OSAS and summarize the new trends in the prediction of difficult intubation to help anesthesiologists make accurate preoperative assessments.
