Pharyngeal Manometry and Upper Airway Collapse During Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is used to guide therapeutic management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), depending on the levels and patterns of pharyngeal collapse. However, the collapsibility of specific pharyngeal sites remains unknown.

Objective

To assess collapse sites in patients with OSA undergoing DISE and whether number and location are associated with differences in airway collapsibility; and to quantify differences in collapsibility between primary and secondary sites in multilevel collapse.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study assessed adult patients (≥18 years) with OSA undergoing DISE with manometry and positive airway pressure (PAP) titration at a tertiary care center from November 2021 to November 2023. Patients with an A
