Promote the cross-fertilization of ideas between anesthesiology and sleep medicine.
Encourage clinical and epidemiologic studies determining the associations between sleep-disordered breathing and perioperative risk.
Examine methods of minimizing perioperative risk of upper-airway obstruction or ventilatory insufficiency in predisposed individuals.
Explore the use of noninvasive positive airway pressure therapies to prevent and treat perioperative upper-airway obstruction or hypoventilation.
Stimulate research aiming to better understand the similarities and differences between sleep and anesthesia as well as their impact on physiologic control systems.
