The Application of Ultrasound to Quantify Hyoid Motion During Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The significance of hyoid dynamics in OSA pathophysiology remains unclear. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is often used for evaluating patients intolerant to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. We performed DISE with concurrent hyoid-focused ultrasonography to quantify hyoid dynamics during obstructive and non-obstructive breathing.

Methods

A cross-sectional analysis from a prospective cohort of patients undergoing DISE with PAP titration (DISE-PAP) and hyoid-focused ultrasound was conducted. Hyoid ultrasound was performed during obstructive breathing, and non-obstructive breathing after PAP administration. Motion was quantified by generating displacement curves based on echo-tracking hyoid movement. The image analysis protocol for quantifying hyoid dis
