Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is a diagnostic tool to assess the upper airway of snorers and obstructive sleep apnea patients in conditions that mimic natural sleep. Although DISE appears simple and similar to awake endoscopy, there are many ...

Drug induced sleep endoscopy, also known as DISE or DISE-PAP, is a diagnostic procedure to evaluate the upper airway of patients suffering from snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. This procedure is an important step in evaluating patients with sleep apnea who struggle with their continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device.

Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE), also known as sleep nasendoscopy (SNE), is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. It is a diagnostic tool used for studying the airway in a sleeping (sedated) patient with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Drug-induced sleep endoscopy is performed to determine whether blockage in breathing is occuring in the Palate and/or Tongue Region (s) and, more specifically, which specific structures seem to be playing a major role in airway obstruction.

Recently, drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) was introduced as a useful diag-nostic and evaluation tool to identify dynamic upper airway collapse during sedation that simu-lates natural sleep. In this article, we review all aspects of DISE, including the technique, evaluation methods, and clinical application. Sleep Med Res 2020;11(1):1-6.

2019年7月24日 · Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is a diagnostic tool to assess the upper airway of snorers and obstructive sleep apnea patients in conditions that mimic natural sleep. Although DISE appears simple and similar to awake endoscopy, there are many aspects that need to be standardized in order to obt …

Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is a diagnostic tool that allows the dynamic, three-dimensional evaluation of the patterns of vibration and collapse of the upper airway of SDB patients. DISE may change the initial surgical planning in a high percentage of cases.

Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) has emerged as a safe and useful technique that allows direct visualization of the anatomy and collapsibility of the upper airway via nasoendoscopy while the patient is sedated [16 - 18].

Care should be taken by the endoscopist (surgeon) to note additional structures of interest, such as mass lesions of the upper aerodigestive tract, enlarged adenoids, or laryngeal pathologies such as subglottic stenosis.

2023年11月11日 · Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) involves real-time observation of all pharyngeal and laryngeal upper airway obstructive events during respiratory efforts while maintaining intact protective respiratory reflexes using drug-induced sedation.
