To analyze the middle latency auditory evoked potential index (MLAEPi), compared to the standard bispectral index (BIS), as a method for evaluating the sedation level in drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). In this controlled clinical study on a sample of 99 obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or snoring patients, we compared the MLAEPi with the BIS after propofol infusion during the standard DISE technique in order to define the MLAEPi values within the observational window of the procedure. The DISE procedure was divided into eight steps, and we collected both MLAEPi and BIS data values from the same patient in every step. The MLAEPi showed a faster response than the BIS after propofol infusion during DISE. Therefore, the clinical use of the MLAEPi in evaluating the sedation level seems to be a good alternative to the current technological standards.

Abstract Introduction Hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HNS) is an effective and safe alternative therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in selected patients. Emerging evidence demonstrates that the outcome of HNS is variable, especially for patients with lateral wall collapse on drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). Awake magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers detailed visualization of soft tissue. The aim of this study was to determine whether lateral wall collapse on DISE is associated with awake MRI findings in prospective HNS patients. Methods Patients from the ADHERE Registry, an international outcomes study for UAS were used for this study. At baseline, awake, supine MRI scans of each subject’s head and neck region were collected. The distance between the lateral walls was measured at the level of the hard palate, located by the appearance of the posterior nasal spine, using axial T2 turbo spin echo MRI. DISE assessments of the upper airway were recorded using the VOTE classification. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS IBM 19.0 software program. Kendall’s Tau-b was performed to compare the association between VOTE scoring and MRI findings. Results Twenty-seven patients (N = 3 female, AHI = 28.8±10.5, BMI = 28.8 ±3.8 kg/m2, age = 53±9.9 years) were included in this study. The mean overall VOTE score and lateral wall score was 5.6±1.1 and 0.5±0.5, respectively. The mean lateral wall distance was 18.8±3.2 mm. A significant, inverse association was found between MRI lateral wall measurement and oropharyngeal lateral wall scoring on DISE (T=-.332,p=0.042) but not other anatomic subsites on DISE. Conclusion In our study, greater lateral wall collapse on DISE corresponded to narrower lateral airway distance on MRI. The utility of static imaging modalities such as MRI as patient selection tools for HNS warrants further study. Support Drs.

Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is an independent risk factor of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Recurrent episodes of upper airways collapse during sleep causing blood oxygen desaturation, hypercapnia, and micro-arousals, are known to activate the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). However, whether changes in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and endothelial activation also occur remains contentious. Methods Based on routine use of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) for the work-up of OSA patients in our centre, we designed a prospective study to investigate the haemodynamic and humoral changes occurring during the apnoeic episodes reproduced in vivo in the course of DISE. Specifically, plasma aldosterone concentration and renin activity, C-terminal fragment of proendothelin-1, as a marker of endothelial damage, and free plasma catecholamines, will be measured at fixed times during DISE. The activity of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), a key catecholamine-inactivating enzyme that has been scantly investigated thus far owing to the lack of commercially available kits, will be also determined by a newly developed high performance liquid chromatography method, which is herein described. Results and conclusions The aim of this study is to provide novel information on the haemodynamic, hormonal, and SNS changes, and also on COMT activity modification concomitantly occurring during apnoea, thus contributing substantively to the understanding of the pathophysiology of OSA.

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.
