Abstract
Sleep disordered breathing, especially obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), has a high and increasing prevalence. Depending on the apnoea and hypopnoea scoring criteria used, and depending on the sex and age of the subjects investigated, prevalence varies between 3% and 49% of the general population. These varying prevalences need to be reflected when considering screening for OSA. OSA is a cardiovascular risk factor and patients are at risk when undergoing medical interventions such as surgery. Screening for OSA before anaesthesia and surgical interventions is increasingly considered. Therefore, methods for screening and the rationale for screening for OSA are reviewed in this study.

Anaesthetic management of sleep-disordered breathing in adults.

Abstract
Anaesthesia and sleep are different states of unconsciousness with considerable physiological common ground. Because of their shared depressant effects on muscle activation and ventilatory drive, patients with anatomically compromised airways will tend to obstruct in either state and those with impaired ventilatory capacity will tend to hypoventilate. Breathing behaviour in one state is predictive of that in the other. An essential difference is that while arousal responses are preserved during sleep, they are depressed during sedation and abolished by anaesthesia. This renders patients with sleep-related breathing disorders vulnerable to hypoventilation and asphyxia when deeply sedated. Addressing this vulnerability requires a systematic approach to identification of patients and circumstances that magnify this risk, and methods of managing it that seek to reconcile the need for safety with cost-effective use of resources.

Una actualización de las diversas aplicaciones prácticas del cuestionario STOP-Bang en anestesia, cirugía y medicina perioperatoria.
An update on the various practical applications of the STOP-Bang questionnaire in anesthesia, surgery, and perioperative medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The present review aims to provide an update on the various practical applications of the STOP-Bang questionnaire in anesthesia, surgery, and perioperative medicine. RECENT FINDINGS: The STOP-Bang questionnaire was originally validated as a screening tool to identify surgical patients who are at high-risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). 
SUMMARY: STOP-Bang at least 3 was recommended previously to identify the suspected or undiagnosed OSA. To reduce the false positive cases and to improve its specificity, a stepwise stratification is recommended to identify the patients at high risk of moderate-to-severe OSA. Because of its practical application, STOP-Bang is a useful screening tool for patients with suspected or undiagnosed OSA.

Obesity is an epidemic, with approximately 35% of the US population affected. This rate is unlikely to decline and may increase the demand for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Data regarding the risks, benefits, and potential complications of TKA in this patient population are conflicting. Preoperative considerations are optimization of nutritional status, safe weight loss strategies, and bariatric surgery. Intraoperative concerns unique to this population include inadequate exposure, implant alignment, and durable implant fixation; postoperative issues include tibial loosening, wound complications, cardiovascular events, and respiratory complications. A thorough understanding of the medical and surgical complications associated with TKA in the obese patient will facilitate research efforts and improve outcomes.
Resumen
La obesidad es una epidemia, con aproximadamente el 35% de la población estadounidense afectada. Esta tasa es poco probable que disminuya y puede aumentar la demanda de artroplastia total de rodilla (TKA). Los datos relativos a los riesgos, beneficios y posibles complicaciones de TKA en esta población de pacientes son conflictivos. Las consideraciones preoperatorias son la optimización del estado nutricional, estrategias seguras de pérdida de peso y cirugía bariátrica. Las preocupaciones intraoperatorias exclusivas de esta población incluyen exposición inadecuada, alineación del implante y fijación duradera del implante; Las cuestiones postoperatorias incluyen aflojamiento tibial, complicaciones de la herida, eventos cardiovasculares y complicaciones respiratorias. Una comprensión completa de las complicaciones médicas y quirúrgicas asociadas con TKA en el paciente obeso facilitará los esfuerzos de investigación y mejorar los resultados.
