Brief Summary

In this study, submental ultrasound during awake and simultaneous under Drug-induced sleep endoscopy is applied in the diagnostic workup of obstructive sleep apnea patients. The aim is to assess the tongue base thickness during awake and sleep with different head positions. By correlation with Drug-induced sleep endoscopy findings, more parameters could be used for evaluation and management of upper airway collapse in obstructive sleep apnea patients.

Conditions

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Keywords

Submental ultrasound, Obstructive sleep apnea

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The value of drug induced sleep ultrasonography in patients with obstructive sleep apnea

  In this study, we proposed a novel method, drug induced sleep ultrasonography (DISU), which was applied to measure the tongue base thickness in OSA patients during drug induced sleep, so as to further understand the impact of dynamic change of tongue base thickness in OSA patients.

Interventions

submental ultrasonography DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Submental ultrasound, the noninvasive and convenient tool, has been widely applied to measure the tongue base thickness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, so as to predict the severity and relationship with upper airway collapse.
