Summary

Would patients using an anti-snoring appliance intraoperatively require less airway manipulation, interventions, and rescue maneuvers during anesthetic sedation cases compared to those who do not? The investigators will use anti-snoring appliance devices (specifically the FDA approved Zyppah) to attempt to relieve tissue obstructions that cause snoring during sleep. The application of the devices to the body is less invasive than other common intraoperative rescue airway devices (e.g. nasal trumpets and oral airways) which are not designed to be patient specific.

Conditions

  • Airway Obstruction
  • Snoring
  • Sedation Complication

Interventions

DEVICE

Anti-snoring device

For group 1, the study team will aid the subject in molding and preparing the device in the pre-operative area. They will wear the device throughout the entirety of the case.

PROCEDURE

No anti -snoring device during their procedure.

For group 2 there will be no anti snoring device used during the case.
