RISK MODIFICATION

Baseline Risk Reduction Strategies Preoperative CPAP Opioid sparing techniques – Regional anesthesia/analgesia – Non-opioid adjuncts – Minimal access surgery Continuous pulse oximetry monitoring Postoperative CPAP Expert Opinion

PREoperative CPAP No RCT guided evidence of perioperative benefit Possible mechanisms: – Less severe nocturnal desaturation – More dependable postoperative CPAP usage Challenges: – Majority of patients are undiagnosed – Adherence with therapy is low – Timely preoperative testing/fitting

Postoperative Monitoring Overview Outcome studies – monitoring success is limited to recent, small single center studies, majority evidence points to no benefit. Limitations of current state of alarm technology Why universal monitoring may be a problem

Outcome Studies 3 tiers of monitoring conceptually: – Spot monitoring – Continuous bedside monitoring – Integrated monitoring /surveillance systems Largest studies are of bedside devices Majority of current evidence around IM/SS Direct comparative effectiveness trials are impossible in the current climate

Surveillance Systems

Unanswered Questions What were the monitoring signatures of “MET/RRT events”? What were the sensitivity and positive predictive value of the system? Did the treatment change the outcome?

Integrated Monitoring System An IMS (BioSign; OBS Medical, Carmel, Indiana) used heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry to develop a single neural networked signal, or BioSign INDEX (BSI) Data were analyzed for cardiorespiratory instability according to BSI trigger value and local MET activation criteria.

Does IMS Prevent Instability?

Does IMS Reduce Frequency of Instability Events?

Does IMS Reduce Duration of Instability?

Unanswered Questions What were the monitoring signatures of “MET/RRT events”? What is the sensitivity and positive predictive value of IMS/SS? Did the treatment change the outcome?

What is the Sensitivity of EWS?

Unanswered Questions What were the monitoring signatures of “MET/RRT events”? What is the sensitivity and positive predictive value of IMS/SS? Did the treatment change the outcome? – NNT/NNP – NNH

Does Monitoring Change Outcomes? For outcome modification, two things need to happen: – The IMS event changes treatment – The treatment changes the outcome Neither was tested in Hravnak’s or Taenzer’s study Both studies used MET/RRT as escalation step

Are we monitoring the right patient at the right time?

Relationship Between Desaturation & Unanticipated Respiratory Failure

Can Monitoring Harm?

Summary It is possible to predict need for MET/RRT fairly accurately using advanced monitoring MET/RRT intervention does not change mortality risk Risk periods for desaturation and unplanned intubation are not congruent Postoperative monitoring is associated with increased technological intensification, alarm fatigue and risk of harm in CURRENT STATE

Future State of Monitoring Can only be effective in pathology that is responsive to treatment Shift away from threshold based event recognition Identification of “state change” from healthy to at-risk state Needs to address poor PPV and sensitivity

Conclusions OSA is associated with increased risk of early postoperative respiratory failure PREoperative CPAP is associated with significant physiological benefit – Compliant PAP therapy is associated with outcome benefit Postoperative monitoring is of unknown value in OSA patients
