Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has an estimated prevalence of 2%-4% in adult population and is increasing. Most of these are detected late which is the cause for higher perioperative morbidity. This survey was aimed to seek the level of knowledge and attitude of Indian anaesthesiologists towards OSA.
