Abstract
- Alternatives to positive airway pressure therapy, including surgery, represent an important area of research. Specifically, predictors of response to surgical therapy remain underdeveloped. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) holds promise as a diagnostic tool to identify patient-specific causes of airway collapse. Herein, we present a novel, standardized approach which combines anatomic and physiologic measurements during DISE. Our DISE platform measures airflow, airway compliance, airway collapsibility, and structural drivers of collapse. Taken together, these inputs provide a comprehensive framework to further inform the surgeon in providing personalized care of the patient with obstructive sleep apnea. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
