Muller’S Maneuver

Latar belakang: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) ialah penyakit kronis yang terjadi akibat episode intermiten sumbatan jalan napas komplit atau sebagian saat tidur. OSA dapat menimbulkan komplikasi seperti hipertensi, diabetes melitus, stroke dan excessive daytime sleepiness yang dapat berakibat fatal. OSA merupakan bagian dari gangguan napas saat tidur. Tujuan: Mengindentifikasi letak atau level dan konfigurasi sumbatan pada saat tidur. Tinjauan pustaka: Cara untuk mendiagnosis OSA adalah nasofaringolaringoskopi dengan Muller`s maneuver, pemeriksaan polisomnography (PSG), dan drug induce sleep endoscopy (DISE). Pemeriksaan PSG merupakan standar baku emas untuk mendapakan nilai apnea-hipopnea index (AHI) yang menentukan derajat OSA. Pemeriksaan untuk mengidentifikasi lokasi sumbatan jalan napas yang menyebabkan peningkatan resistensi aliran udara adalah Muller`s maneuver dan DISE. Pada pemeriksaan DISE, digunakan propofol atau midazolam secara intravena untuk menstimulasi keadaan sumbatan pada saat tidur, dilanjutkan dengan pemeriksaan nasofaringolaringoskopi. Kesimpulan: Pemeriksaan ini merupakan cara yang sangat terpercaya untuk menentukan level sumbatan pada keadaan tidur, sehingga jenis tindakan operasi yang dilakukan menjadi lebih tepat. Kata kunci: Drug induced sleep endoscopy, midazolam, propofol, manuver Muller’s, obstructive sleep apnea, polisomnografi  ABSTRACT Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disorder caused by intermittent episodes of complete or partial upper airway obstruction during sleep. It may lead to complications such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, stroke, as well as excessive daytime sleepiness which can be fatal. OSA is a part of sleep disorder breathing. Purpose: To identify the sites or the levels of obstruction and its configuration. Literature review: Muller’s maneuver upon nasopharyngoscopy, polysomnography (PSG), and drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) are the modalities for diagnosing OSA. Polysomnography is the gold standard examination for OSA, one of the variables; the apnea-hipopnea index (AHI) is used to determine the presence and severity of OSA. Muller’s maneuver and DISE are the examination to identify the sites responsible for increase in airflow resistance. DISE technique uses intravena injection of propofol or midazolam to produce obstruction in a “natural sleep” condition followed by nasopharyngolaryngoscopy examination. Conclusion: DISE is considered as a very reliable means to define the level of obstruction during sleeping, thus could help to determine appropriate surgery.

The presence of complete concentric collapse of the soft palate (CCCp) during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) has important therapeutic consequences. However, CCCp may present in various, sometimes doubtful, ways due to the complex anatomy of the upper airway. Herein, we aimed to characterize these doubtful variants by reviewing the DISE recordings of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (n = 332). We observed in some individuals that the soft palate collapsed in an anteroposterior-laterolateral (AP-LL) way, producing a polygonal shape that was distinct from CCCp. Patients with this collapse pattern (n = 29) had a smaller neck circumference and less severe obstructive sleep apnea than patients with CCCp (n = 68). The majority of patients with AP-LL collapse (n = 19) were originally diagnosed with CCCp. Based on these findings, AP-LL collapse of the soft palate might represent a distinct DISE phenotype that is easily confounded with CCCp.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a highly prevalent cyclic repetitive hypoxia-normoxia respiratory sleep disorder characterized by intermittent upper-airway collapse. It is mainly diagnosed using in-laboratory polysomnography. However, the time-spatial constraints of this procedure limit its application. To overcome these limitations, there have been studies aiming to develop clinical prediction formulas for screening of obstructive sleep apnea using the risk factors for this disorder. However, the applicability of the formula is restricted by the group specific factors included in it. Therefore, we aimed to assess the risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea and develop clinical prediction formulas, which can be used in different situations, for screening and assessing this disorder. We enrolled 3,432 Asian adult participants with suspected obstructive sleep apnea who had successfully undergone in-laboratory polysomnography. All parameters were evaluated using correlation analysis and logistic regression. Among them, age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, anthropometric factors, Berlin questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores, and anatomical tonsil and tongue position were significantly associated with obstructive sleep apnea. To develop the clinical formulas for obstructive sleep apnea, the participants were divided into the development (n = 2,516) and validation cohorts (n = 916) based on the sleep laboratory visiting date. We developed and selected 13 formulas and divided them into those with and without physical examination based on the ease of application; subsequently, we selected suitable formulas based on the statistical analysis and clinical applicability (formula including physical exam: sensitivity, 0.776; specificity, 0.757; and AUC, 0.835; formula without physical exam: sensitivity, 0.749; specificity, 0.770; and AUC, 0.839). Analysis of the validation cohort with developed formulas showed that these models and formula had sufficient performance and goodness of fit of model. These tools can effectively utilize medical resources for obstructive sleep apnea screening in various situations.

Objectives To use computer-assisted quantitative measurements of upper airway changes during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and to correlate these parameters with disease severities and physiologic changes in patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSA). Design A retrospective study. Setting Tertiary academic medical center. Patients and Methods A total of 170 patients who failed continuous positive airway pressure therapy and then underwent upper airway surgery were enrolled. All patients received polysomnography and DISE preoperatively. We used ImageJ 1.48v to obtain maximal and minimal measurements, including cross-sectional areas and anterior-posterior and lateral diameters at 4 anatomic levels (retropalatal, oropharyngeal, retroglossal, and retroepiglottic) under DISE, and then computed the percentage changes. We analyzed the clinical values of DISE changes by computer-assisted analysis in patients with OSA and any correlations between these changes and polysomnography parameters. Results The percentage changes of upper airway showed significant collapses at all 4 anatomic levels (all P < .0001). We also found that the changes at retropalatal levels were significantly greater and that retroglossal levels were significantly smaller, while the changes of anterior-posterior diameters at retroglossal levels showed a significant positive association with apnea-hypopnea index and desaturation index. However, there were no statistically significant correlations between upper airway changes and obesity. Conclusion Computer-assisted quantitative analysis could evaluate upper airway changes of OSA in an objective way and may help identify the sites of obstruction during DISE more accurately. Upper airway showed multilevel collapse with independent significant changes in patients with OSA, with the retropalatal and retroglossal levels playing important roles in particular.
