Beyond VOTE: The New Frontier of Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Beyond VOTE: The New Frontier of Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy Via O.R.L. Journal for oto-rhino-laryngology and its borderlands 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 co llapsibility, 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. ORL View on the web Inoreader.
