OSAUnderdiagnosed

OSA is linked to increased risk for HTN, C-V events including nocturnal arrhythmias, including afib & V-tach, MI, stroke, & DM.

Considered an independent risk factor for increased postoperative morbidity.

Those with OSA frequently have multiple co-morbidities: COPD, HTN, DM, CAD, obesity.

Page 4: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

OSA & Obesity• Attributed to a concommittant rise in prevalence

of obesity. A 10% increase in body weight can increase your risk of OSA by 6 fold.

• Caused by fat deposits around your upper airway and decreased chest excursion from abdominal obesity.

Page 5: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

In one study Obesity is 5X more prevalent among the those with OSA (Memtsoudis et al).

OSA

OSA is a partial or complete airway obstruction resulting in repetitive incomplete or complete cessation of airflow during sleep a/w strenuous breathing against resistance followed by period of desaturation, hypercarbia and then subsequent arousal.

Page 8: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

• OSA Can provoke long term C-V consequences such as right ventricular dysfunction, atrial fibrillation, heart failure and stroke.

• OSA can also cause a higher incidence of complications in the perioperative period including: post op deliriumhypoxiaaspiration pneumoniaARDSPEIntubation/mechanical ventilation and increased use of ICU’s

Page 9: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Diagnosis• Timely diagnosis is difficult

• While PSG remains the gold standard for diagnosis, it requires an overnight stay, complex equipment, expensive, & need available facilities.

• Screening Instruments help estimate the risk of OSA:- American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) check list- Berlin Questionnaire- Stop Model/Stop-Bang Questionnaire.

• These look at S&S of OSA: snoring, observed apnea,, obesity, neck circumference….

• Chung, et al. evaluated use of serum HCO3 as an indicator of chronic metabolic compensation for chronic recurrent respiratory acidosis (HCO3 > 28mmol) & a score of > 3 on the STOP-BANG questionnaire increased specificity to 85%.

Page 10: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Stop-Bang Questionnaire

1. Snoring: Do you snore loud enough to be heard thru closed doors? Yes/No

2. Tired: Do you often feel tired, fatigued, sleep during day? Yes/No

3. Observed: Has anyone observed you stop breathing during sleep? Yes/No

4. Pressure: Do you have HBP? Yes/No

5. BMI: BMI > 35? Yes/No

6. Age: > 50 y/o? Yes/No

7. Neck Circumference: Greater than 40cm? Yes/No

8. Gender: Male? Yes/No

High Risk of OSA: yes to 3 or more questions Indicates high probability of OSA

Low Risk of OSA: yes to less than 3 questions

Chung, F., Subramanyam, R., Liao, P., Sasaki, E., Shapiro, C. & Sun, Y. High STOP-BANG score indicates a high probability of obstructive sleep apnea. British Journal of Anesthesia, 2012.108(5), 774.

ASA GuidelinesAmerican Society of Anesthesiologists

• Preoperative Evaluation: interview, MR review, PE, PSG,…Anesthesiologists should work with surgeon to develop a protocol where pts with possibility of OSA are evaluated long before day of surgery.

• Preop initiation of NIPPV (noninvasive positive pressure ventilation ) if severe OSA. Mandibular advancement devices and preop weight loss should be considered.

Page 12: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

ASA Guidelines (continued)American Society of Anesthesiologists

• Use regional anesthesia – spinals and peripheral nerve blocks; peripheral nerve catheters. Also agreement that excluding opioids from spinals reduces risk.

• Recommendation is to avoid general anesthesia and intubation.

• Use local anesthesia when possible.

• Caution against concomitant use of Benzo’s/barbituates which increase risk of respiratory depression.

• Avoid PCA’s with basal infusions.

Page 13: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

• Use NSAIDS as much as possible.

• Patient positioning: lateral, prone or 45 degree sitting. Avoid supine.

• Recommend continuous pulse oximetry until room air sats are above 90% during sleep. Use of supplemental O2, as warranted.

• Risk factors for postop respiratory depression:• Severity of OSA• Systemic use of opiods• Use of sedatives• Potential for apnea during REM rebound on POD #3-#4.

ASA Guidelines (continued)American Society of Anesthesiologists

Page 14: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Implications

•Patients with OSA are at increased risk of perioperative complications. Results in need for more intense monitoring and strategies to prevent adverse events.

•Implementation of a sedation scale. Sedation precedes respiratory depression 2/2 opioid administration. Sedation and respiratory assessments should be done Q1-2h in the first 24h of surgery depending on risk factors and presurgical screening. Increases demand on nursing resources.

•Use of opiod analgesics, anxiolytics (Xanax), antihistamines (Benadryl, scopolamine) and antiemetics can increase risk of postop respiratory and cardiac complications.

Page 15: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Implications (continued)

• Information regarding the effects of length of OR time, and EBL is not available from most of the studies because a lot of the studies are retrospective and taken from databases, and this information is frequently not available.

• Information regarding readmission rates are not available from most of the studies because a lot of the studies are retrospective and taken from databases, and this information is frequently not available.

• The use of simple screening tools now allows us to estimate the likelihood someone has OSA, but what then is the next step?? Delay surgery? Or proceed knowing the risk of complications is higher? Refer pt for workup and treatment before surgery? Rate of noncompliance with treatment is high. How long should a pt be treated with PAP before proceeding with surgery?

 

Page 16: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

• There is little data to support the use of PAP in the acute postoperative setting in improving outcomes, and cost is high so adherence is low.

• Be aware that patients are at risk for prolonged apnea during sleep for up to 1 week after surgery due to interruptions in REM sleep. It is imperative they use their CPAP during this time. REM sleep can be lost during the initial postop period. REM sleep may return in a rebound fashion with decreased pharyngeal tone, hypoxemia and prolonged apnea.

Small Bowel Obstruction

Page 33: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Definition

• Small bowel obstructions are caused by a variety of pathologic processes.

• An obstruction is a blockage of the intestine (small or large) which does not allow the passage of food or fluids (mechanical or functional).

• It is a frequent cause of hospitalization and surgery consult, representing appx 20% of all surgery admission for abdominal pain.

Page 34: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Types of SBO Mechanical obstruction - is something that physically blocks the small

intestine.

Causes:

1. Intestinal adhesions: #1 cause of SBO (small fibrous tissue in abdominal cavity)

2. Hernia

3. Tumors

4. Inflammatory bowel disease ie. Crohn’s Disease

5. Twisting of intestine (volvulus)

6. Telescoping of the intestine (intussusception)

7. Impacted Feces

Page 35: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Continued Types of SBO

Paralytic Ileus/Functional Bowel Obstruction-can cause s/s of intestinal obstruction, but doesn’t involve a physical blockage. It involves an impaired gastrointestinal motility dysfunction by slowing the movement of food/fluid thru the intestine.

Causes:

1. Abdominal surgery

2. Pelvic surgery

3. Infection

4. Certain Medications-antidepressants, narcotics, anesthesia

5. Muscle/Nerve Disorders-ie. Parkinson’s Disease

6. Constipation is the #1 associated factor for ileus after ortho surgery incidence

The incidence of ileus after lower limb reconstruction ranges from 0.3%-2.0% w/an even higher incidence (5.6%) following revision THA

(Lee et al)

Page 36: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Pathophysiology of SBO

Partial vs Complete

Significant obstruction is associated with increased intestinal contractions proximal to the site of the obstruction and are associated with abdominal cramps.

With complete unrelieved obstruction bowel contents fail to pass distally, resulting in accumulation of fluids causing distention/dilation of the proximal bowel.

As pressure in the bowel proximal to the obstruction increases blood flow decreases which can result in :

1. Hemorrhage

2. Ischemia/Necrosis

3. Infarction of the bowel

4. Perforation-as a result of ischemia

5. Sepsis/peritoneal infections/shock

6. Death

Page 37: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

In simple obstruction the proximal bowel appears heavy, edematous, and even cyanosed.

Acute SBO results in volume depletion and electrolyte imbalance. Vomiting Loss in the peritoneal cavity (fecal fluid)

Intestinal contents are cut off from the absorptive surface of the colon

Pathophysiology of SBO (continued)

Page 38: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

History Taking Good history taking on admission is important

Last bowel movement and usual pattern Abdominal history of pelvic/colon disease ie. CA, radiation,

inflammatory bowel disease Has the patient ever experienced any complications r/t any previous

surgeries in the past (ie. SBO)

Remember abdominal adhesions is the #1 cause of mechanical SBO Remember Constipation is the #1 cause of functional SBO

Page 39: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Signs & SymptomsSmall bowel obstruction is considered a medical emergency

• Signs & Symptoms:- Nausea- Constipation- Abdominal Pain - colicky in nature- Abdominal distension- Vomiting - is a pronounced symptom in SBO

• Other Sign & Symptoms that are more ominous:- Fever- Tachycardia & associated hypotension

Page 40: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Assessment

In the focused gastrointestinal assessment consider the following:

1. Vial Signs - fever, tachycardia with associated hypotension2. Nausea3. Vomiting4. Bowel Sounds - hypoactive, tinkling, absent5. Abdominal Distension6. Constipation

Other items to consider are: Medications & past medical history

Page 41: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Imaging Work-Up Algorithm

Page 42: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Imaging for SBO• Plain abdominal xrays provide the most valuable

information in the initial diagnosis of acute SBO, in appx 50-60% of cases this type of imaging will provide enough information needed for clinical decision making (proves to be low cost & effective).

• Ct scans are used when xrays are equivocal, normal, or low grade partial SBO is suspected & is 85%-95% accurate in diagnosis.

(Silva et al)

Page 43: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Radiology Classification of SBO

High grade vs Low gradeHigh Grade SBO:• Multiple air fluid levels with a width of 2.5 cm or more• Vertical height of more than 2 cm b/t air fluid levels• Distension of small bowel diameter more than 2.5 cm & a

small bowel-colon diameter ratio greater than 0.5• Delay in passage of CT contrast

Low Grade SBO:• Sufficient flow of contrast material through obstruction• Less air fluid levels• Still will see distension of the small bowel

(Silva et al)

Page 44: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Examples of High grade SBO on Xray

High-grade SBO. Plain abdominal radiograph shows multiple air-fluid levels (arrows), some with a width of more than 2.5 cm. In addition, there is a differential vertical height of more than 2 cm between corresponding air-fluid levels in the same bowel loop (circled area). There is also distention of the small bowel diameter to more than 2.5 cm and a small bowel–colon diameter ratio of greater than 0.5.

Further Diagnostic Work-Up

(continued)

Other Differential Diagnosis to Consider:

• Gastroenteritis

• Pancreatitis

• UTI

• Cholecystitis

• Inflammatory Bowel Disease

• Appendicitis

Page 49: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Treatment of SBO Aggressive resuscitative fluid therapy

Electrolyte imbalance correction

NPO

Decompression of stomach-NGT helps prevents aspiration

Foley Catheter for strict I&O

Labs: CBC, BMP, LFT’s, Pancreatic enzymes, UA

Analgesics – morphine based

Antibiotic Therapy - broad spectrum used for prophylaxis in surgical intervention

General surgery consult

Antimetics: zofran, reglan, tigan, compazine Stay away from scopolamine patches (can cause constipation, decreased gut motility, and

even bowel stasis by mechanism of anticholinergic effect)

(Kulaylat & Doerr)

Page 50: OSA & the Perioperative Orthopaedic Patient. Who Has OSA?

Prognosis of SBO• With proper diagnosis & txmt of SBO the prognosis is good. Complete

obstructions treated successfully non-operatively have a higher incidence of reoccurrence than do those treated surgically.

• Mortality & Morbidity are dependent on early recognition & correct diagnosis of obstruction. If untreated or strangulation occurs-death is 100%. If surgery is performed within 36 hrs mortality decreases to 8%.

• Factors associated with death & post-operative complications include:

- age

- comorbidity

- txmt delay
