This article reviews anatomic and physiologic factors contributing to airway collapse in OSA, function of the hypoglossal nerve stimulation device, the evaluation, implantation, and activation process, and considerations for patient care in the perioperative and perianesthesia periods. Precautions needed for other therapies, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging, diathermy, and radiation are also discussed.
Author: Karen J. Maresch, DNAP, CRNA
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (Inspire Medical Systems, Maple Grove, Minnesota) is an innovative treatment option for eligible patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Since U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in 2014, over 18,000 patients have been implanted. The device includes an implanted pacemaker-sized pulse generator, one sensing lead, and one stimulation lead. During sleep, inspirations and expirations are detected by the sensing lead. At end expiration, the stimulation lead triggers the hypoglossal nerve to contract and stiffen the tongue thus preventing airway obstruction and improving OSA. Perioperative and perianesthesia nurses have an important role in caring for these patients during all aspects of the surgical insertion process: evaluation for eligibility, device implantation, and future visits to the perioperative area for related and unrelated procedures. This article reviews anatomic and physiologic factors contributing to airway collapse in OSA, function of the hypoglossal nerve stimulation device, the evaluation, implantation, and activation process, and considerations for patient care in the perioperative and perianesthesia periods. Precautions needed for other therapies, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging, diathermy, and radiation are also discussed.-

This article summarizes the recently released American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Scientific Statement entitled: Perioperative Neurological Evaluation and Management to Lower the Risk of Acute Stroke in Patients Undergoing Noncardiac, Nonneurological Surgery and discusses the nurse's role in the care of this vulnerable patient population..
Author: Martha Power, APRN, SCRN, FAHA; Claire Bentley, MD; Curtis Benesch, MPH, MD
Perioperative nurses have the opportunity to play a key role in prevention and recognition of stroke in patients undergoing noncardiac, nonneurological surgery and may impact this potentially devastating complication. Effective nursing care of the older adult requires a specialized knowledge base. Scientific Statements are a cornerstone of the knowledge base that informs this care. This article summarizes the recently released American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Scientific Statement entitled: Perioperative Neurological Evaluation and Management to Lower the Risk of Acute Stroke in Patients Undergoing Noncardiac, Nonneurological Surgery and discusses the nurse's role in the care of this vulnerable patient population.-
