Evaluation of the relationship between the STOP-Bang score with oxygen reserve index and difficult airway: a prospective observational study
Background: Patients diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) syndrome have a tendency towards hypoventilation, hypoxia, and hypercarbia in the perioperative period. This study hypothesized that the Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi) could predict possible hypoxia and determine difficult airways in pati...
