Abstract
The global population is progressively affected by obesity. When conservative weight loss programs fail, bariatric surgery might be an option. Worldwide, more than 700,000 bariatric surgical procedures are performed on an annual basis. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent sleep-disordered breathing problem and affects more obese individuals than type II diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Its prevalence rises to 70%. As morbid obesity and OSA are independent risk factors for perioperative cardiopulmonary complications, a combination of both suggests that special attention should be paid on the recognition and anticipation of OSA in bariatric surgery to prevent disastrous outcomes. This chapter aims to provide information derived from guidelines and literature on the perioperative management of OSA in bariatric surgery.
