Estimates are that more than 18 million people in the United States have sleep apnea, with the majority of them undiagnosed. Patients with sleep apnea are four times as likely to have serious medical complications, two times more likely to have post-sedation complications and have significantly longer hospital stays. Complications can cause adverse medical situations and even sentinel events.
Patients with undiagnosed or known sleep apnea require a specific care plan with monitoring to reduce adverse events of surgery or even death after receiving anesthetics for surgeries, procedures and pain management.
Patients with undiagnosed or known sleep apnea require a specific care plan with monitoring to reduce adverse events of surgery or even death after receiving anesthetics for surgeries, procedures and pain management.
Every hospital, outpatient surgery center and clinic that provides sedation for patient surgeries and procedures needs to have a perioperative sleep apnea monitoring program.
It reduces patient risk which also reduces medical liability for their surgeons, anesthesiologists, their other physicians and medical facilities. For the related sleep center and sleep DME services it creates significant additional revenue streams.
