[Multidisciplinary clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of perioperative obstructive sleep apnea in bariatric and metabolic surgery].

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep breathing disorder characterized by snoring during sleep and cessation of breathing accompanied with nocturnal hypoxemia and daytime sleepiness. It has a high morbidity rate among bariatric surgery candidates and may lead to various perioperative risks. The purpose of this guideline is to standardize the diagnosis and treatment process of obstructive sleep apnea during the perioperative period of bariatric surgery and to improve patient outcomes and perioperative safety.
