Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to substantially reduce overall postoperative morbidity and mortality associated with obstructive sleep apnea.
Detailed Description:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects millions of people in the U.S., and currently, there is not a well-established, general anesthetic technique that clearly decreases the risk of postoperative respiratory complications in these patients. If OSA patients have significantly decreased postoperative opioid requirements and improved recovery profiles in the PACU, the protocol could have significant implications in defining future standardized general anesthesia recommendations for patients with this disease. Ultimately, the aim of this study is to substantially reduce overall postoperative morbidity and mortality associated with obstructive sleep apnea. The objective of this study is to compare the postoperative recovery profile of OSA patients receiving standard Sevoflurane inhaled anesthesia with normal saline infusion versus Sevoflurane combined with a low-dose ketamine infusion.
