ABSTRACT

Introduction: obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a commonly undiagnosed disorder. It can increase the risk of airway management complications in the perioperative period. Objective: demonstrate using the STOP-BANG questionnaire as an additional tool of the pre-anesthetic assessment to help identify difficult airways. Material and methods: we included patients who underwent surgery with general anesthesia at the Hospital Angeles Mocel in a thirteen-month study lapse. Results: 116 patients were included. The mean age was 44.5 ± 14.9 years. The mean BMI was 26.5 ± 5.4 and the difficult intubation predictive index (DIPI) was 7 ± 2.1. There were 21 (18.1%) hypertensive patients and seven (6.0%) with diabetes mellitus. The ASA status was I in 19 (16.4%) patients and II in 96 (82.8%). The STOP-BANG questionnaire score was high in 13 (11.2%), low in 69 (59.5%) and intermediate in 34 (29.3%). The mean number of intubation attempts was 1 ± 0.25 with videolaryngoscopy. Conclusions: the DIPI has a statistically significant association with the STOP-BANG score (p < 0.000). Because it is an accessible and simple tool, these results support the use of the STOP-BANG questionnaire as a routine part of pre-anesthetic assessment.
