Long-range optical coherence tomography of pediatric airway during drug induced sleep endoscopy: A preliminary report.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is often performed for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) when initial diagnostic studies do not provide adequate information for therapy. However, DISE scoring is subjective and with limitations. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the use of a novel long-range optical coherence tomography (LR-OCT) system during DISE of two pediatric patients.

Methods

LR-OCT was used to visualize the airway of pediatric patients during DISE. At the conclusion of DISE, the OCT probe was guided in the airway under endoscopic visual guidance, and cross-sectional images were acquired at the four VOTE locations. Data processing involved image resizing and alignment, followed by rendering of three-dimensional (3D) volumetric models of the ai
