STOP BANG

Hi all -

My organization is looking to implement STOP BANG for all of our patients (it's a nursing assessment tool to determine if a patient is at high risk for an opioid adverse event). We do it in the peri-op setting currently, but are looking to expand house-wide.

That being said, we want to determine best practices from other organizations - what monitoring is in place (pulse ox vs. capnography), what "score" necessitates what intervention/monitoring, etc.

Is anyone using STOP BANG house-wide?

Thanks,
Elizabeth
