Clinical Trial Summary

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?

Intervention

Other:
• STOP BANG
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.
