No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this study, submental ultrasound during awake and simultaneous under Drug-induced sleep endoscopy is applied in the diagnostic workup of obstructive sleep apnea patients. The aim is to assess the tongue base thickness during awake and sleep with different head positions. By correlation with Drug-induced sleep endoscopy findings, more parameters could be used for evaluation and management of upper airway collapse in obstructive sleep apnea patients.
