NEXT WEEK! Join us for an upcoming webinar on Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adult Ambulatory Anesthesia.

📅 February 25, 2026
⏰ 8:00 pm ET

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)—whether diagnosed preoperatively or suspected on the day of surgery, presents ongoing challenges for safe perioperative care in the ambulatory setting. As same-day surgery continues to expand, anesthesiologists play a key role in risk assessment, tailored anesthesia management, and postoperative monitoring and disposition.

This webinar builds on and reviews a recent CPD module, translating current evidence and guidance into practical strategies to support safe home discharge for OSA patients undergoing ambulatory procedures.
