Conditions: Sleep Apnea, Obstructive
Purpose: Prospective, interventional cohort study of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) to evaluate the upper airway in a cohort of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) surgical patients. This study is designed to investigate the feasibility and reliability of this technique, obtain additional information about upper airway behavior during sleep, and compare the DISE findings with other evaluation methods. We will consider the association between DISE findings and those of other popular techniques that aid in determining the pattern of airway obstruction in OSA: physical exam, polysomnogram results, awake fiberoptic laryngoscopy with Mueller maneuver and lateral cephalometry. Finally, we will evaluate the association between DISE findings and surgical outcomes. This study is designed to enhance the understanding of this technique of upper airway assessment in OSA patients.
Study summary:
Criteria: Inclusion Criteria: - Adult patients with OSA considering surgical treatment Exclusion Criteria: - Minors - Pregnant women - Patients unable to provide informed consent in English themselves - Prisoners - Allergy to propofol, soybean oil, egg lecithin or glycerol - Other contraindication to use of propofol (decision of anesthesiologist or otolaryngologist.)
