Guidelines for Addressing OSA in Pregnancy
This podcast offers an important discussion on the guidelines for addressing OSA in pregnancy. Hosted by Women in CHEST Medicine (WiCM) Interest Group member and guideline panelist Carolyn D’Ambrosio, MD, MS, FCCP, this episode explores why pregnancy represents a unique and often underrecognized risk period for sleep-disordered breathing and how OSA can impact both short- and long-term health outcomes for pregnant patients and their babies.
Joined by expert guest, WiCM member-at-large, and guideline panelist Ghada Bourjeily, MD, this conversation highlights new, multidisciplinary guideline recommendations designed to help clinicians better screen, diagnose, and manage OSA in pregnant patients. Listeners will gain practical insights for implementing these recommendations in real-world clinical settings, navigating challenges unique to pregnancy, and improving patient counseling and care pathways.
The goal of this episode is to raise awareness, support evidence-informed decision-making, and, ultimately, advance equitable pregnancy-related health outcomes.
