Controversies in Adult Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy: A Pro and Con Debate (2023 AMW) Session
2023 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Drug induced sleep endoscopy is a commonly performed procedure and is often used to determine candidacy for sleep surgeries, especially hypoglossal nerve stimulation. Studies assessing the ability of drug induced sleep endoscopy to improve surgical outcomes have produced varied results. A panel of sleep surgery experts, all of whom have published extensively on drug induced sleep endoscopy and sleep apnea surgery, will debate some contemporary and controversial topics including: should drug induced sleep endoscopy be performed before all sleep surgery? should drug induced sleep endoscopy be required before hypoglossal nerve stimulation surgery? should additional maneuvers be performed routinely during drug induced sleep endoscopy? Join us for this interactive debate!OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 1: Discuss the role of drug induced sleep endoscopy in selecting sleep surgery candidatesOUTCOME OBJECTIVE 2: Describe the pros and cons of performing additional maneuvers during drug induced sleep endoscopy including pharyngeal opening pressure and jaw advancementOUTCOME OBJECTIVE 3: Analyze the role of drug induced sleep endoscopy in predicting hypoglossal nerve stimulation outcomesBACKGROUND STATEMENT: This is an interactive debate of contemporary and controversial topics in adult drug induced sleep endoscopy. The panel includes topic experts who have all published recently on drug induced sleep endoscopy and sleep surgery. We are sponsored by the sleep disorders committee.
