Sleep apnea is a recognized risk factor for adverse perioperative outcomes in total joint arthroplasty. Nevertheless, little is known about its impact on shoulder arthroscopy, which is a commonly performed ambulatory procedure. Our primary objective was to determine whether sleep apnea was associated with increases in complications and healthcare utilization in this setting. ⋯ Sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of complications and resource utilization in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy.

We aimed to develop a contemporary measure for anesthesia teaching and learning in the operating theatre that was applicable to a variety of training jurisdictions, the Measure for the Anaesthesia Theatre Educational Environment (MATE). ⋯ The MATE survey tool generated valid and reliable scores when measuring the educational environment in the operating theatre. Further research is required to investigate possible differences between the training countries and age of junior doctors and the associated underlying factors. Other researchers are invited to administer the survey and share results within a central database.
