The efficacy of drug induced sleep endoscopy using multimodality monitoring system.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To overcome the limited readability of the conventional drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) system which only records flexible endoscopy images, we devised the Multimodality DISE System (MDS). MDS encompasses the monitoring systems for oxygen saturation, electrocardiogram, blood pressure, snoring intensity, and patient's position. It enabled to record comprehensive situation of patients who underwent DISE. In this study, we compared the efficacy of MDS with that of the conventional DISE system.

Methods and materials

Ten patients underwent DISE at a tertiary hospital. DISE evaluated the airway of each patient in four positions; supine, supine with jaw thrust, right lateral decubitus, and left lateral decubitus. In addition, every examination was recorded by using
