Abstract
Drug-induced sleep endoscopy was introduced in 1991 and has recently evolved into a pivotal instrument for patients in whom obstructive sleep apnea surgery is considered. Here, we discuss the indications, contraindications, technique, anesthesia, scoring systems, validity, and insights of the literature.
期刊介绍:
Material for each volume in this series has been skillfully selected to document the most active areas of otorhinolaryngology and related specialties, such as neuro-otology and oncology. The series reproduces results from basic research and clinical studies pertaining to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, clinical symptoms, course, prognosis and therapy of a variety of ear, nose and throat disorders. The numerous papers correlating basic research findings and clinical applications are of immense value to all specialists engaged in the ongoing efforts to improve management of these disorders. Acting as a voice for its field, the series has also been instrumental in developing subspecialities into established specialities.
