Obstructive Sleep

Although it seems to be an exhausted subject at first glance, the therapeutic approach in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (O.S.A.S.) is still an open subject. The continuous positive airway pressure (C.P.A.P.) represents the gold standard of therapy in O.S.A.S. However, this therapeutic process with C.P.A.P. has a low rate of compliancy, over 50% of patients quit in the first year of use. Implicitly, surgical solutions or mandibular advancement devices remain an alternative for many of these patients. High costs, complexity and risks associated with surgery have led to the identification of more accurate methods for topographic and functional diagnosis in O.S.A.S. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (D.I.S.E.) with target-controlled infusion (T.C.I.) using propofol in the management of patients with obstructive sleep apnea is a relatively recently introduced method in Romania. The present paper describes our experience with D.I.S.E for selected patients, who have undergone surgery on the upper airway for O.S.A.S. The D.I.S.E method has led to the modification of the initial surgical plan in over 60% of patients with multi-level obstruction. Under these conditions, the surgical success rate in patients of the study increased to 80% at 6 months. Considering the specific endowment of each tertiary sleep center, the presence or absence of an operator block and the anesthetist�s experience with target-controlled (T.C.I.) infusion using propofol, more extensive and multicenter studies are needed for standardization of D.I.S.E.

Physical Examinations

The Velum, Oropharynx, Tongue base and Epiglottis (VOTE) classification on drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is used widely for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome, though research into comparative physical examinations with VOTE on DISE is still limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the findings of physical examinations and DISE in patients with OSA. Fifty-five patients with OSA were enrolled in this retrospective study. All of the patients received clinical explorations including a Brodsky classification, a modified Mallampati score (MMS), a modified Friedman’s staging system, and a Muller’s test. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy was further evaluated in the operating room. There were significant relationships between Brodsky classification, modified Friedman’s staging system, Muller’s test and oropharynx collapse during DISE (p < 0.05). Brodsky classification, MMS, modified Friedman’s staging system and retropalatal lateral-to-lateral (L–L) collapse of Muller’s test were significantly correlated with VOTE count (p < 0.05). The concordance between VOTE under DISE and Brodsky classification or modified Friedman’s staging system was moderate. In contrast, the concordance between VOTE under DISE and MMS or Muller’s test was slight. The study revealed that Brodsky classification and Friedman staging had a significant relationship with DISE on the velum and oropharynx, but the level of tongue base is uncertain between DISE and MMS. Correlation of awake evaluation of tongue base is still not correlated to the DISE findings. Pre-treatment evaluation of DISE is still warranted.
