Abstract
  • Problem Statement: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-associated breathing disorder that
    affects 14% of men and 4% of women in the United States, with an estimated 12 to 18 million
    adults having undiagnosed OSA (Deslate et al., 2021). Patients with OSA are at increased risk
    for peri- and postoperative complications; screening with the STOP-BANG questionnaire and
    utilizing its results in anesthesia care decrease these complications (Seet et al., 2015).
    Purpose: The purpose of this project was to increase the documentation of the STOP-BANG
    Questionnaire for preoperative assessment of patients undergoing outpatient surgery among
    anesthesia providers at Adams Memorial Hospital.
    Inclusion criteria: The project participants were all full-time anesthesia providers, including an
    anesthesiologist and three CRNAs in the ambulatory care unit at Adams Memorial Hospital.
    Methods: The main aim of the quality improvement (QI) project was to significantly increase
    providers usage and the documentation of the STOP-BANG assessment tool (questionnaire) on
    outpatient surgical patients at Adams Memorial Hospital. The interventions implemented were a
    ten-minute PowerPoint presentation and placement of laminated STOP-BANG questionnaire in
    each pre-operative room. A chart review was performed pre and post intervention to evaluate for
    improved practice changes
    Results: Pre- to post- intervention chart reviews showed improvements in the completion and
    documentation of the STOP-BANG questionnaire in patients’ charts. Anesthesia Providers at
    AMH documented the STOP-BANG questionnaire with a 700% documentation in patient charts
    during the four-week post-intervention period. Pre-implementation chart review had five charts
    with completed STOP-BANG questionnaires, and a post-implementation chart review had 40
    charts with completed STOP-BANG questionnaires, thus the 700% increase in the completion of
    the STOP-BANG questionnaire.
    Implications: The anesthesia providers at AMH needed education on the completion and
    documentation of the STOP-BANG questionnaire. Future recommendations include episodic
    education to remind the anesthesia providers of the importance of completing and documenting a
    STOP-BANG questionnaire in future care practices.
