Floppy epiglottis during drug-induced sleep endoscopy: an almost complete resolution by adopting the lateral posture
2019
Purpose
To analyze the presence of a floppy epiglottis (FE) during drug-induced sleep endoscopy in non-apneic snoring patients, non-positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients (NPP), and position-dependent OSA patients (PP) and to evaluate the impact of maneuvers and body position during drug-induced sleep endoscopy, including jaw thrust and supine and lateral head (and trunk) position.
