Nasal vs Oral Breathing in Drug Induced Sleep vs Natural Sleep

Purpose

This project will provide important new information regarding (1) the relationship between route of breathing and airway collapsibility and (2) whether route of breathing during DISE (Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy) is representative of natural sleep.

Detailed Description

As part of standard of care, a drug-induced sleep endoscopy will be done, where route of breathing will be determined as a percentage of total breaths (during baseline, lateral sleep and maneuver). As part of the research procedure, an in-laboratory Polysomnogram will be conducted as study procedure including a oronasal pressure signal cannula to assess route of breathing.
