Study Summary

This project will provide important new information regarding (1) the relationship between route of breathing and airway collapsibility and (2) whether route of breathing during DISE (Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy) is representative of natural sleep.

Primary Outcome

Participants will be classified as oral breathers if more than 50% of their total breaths during DISE occur through the oral route; otherwise, they will be classified as nasal breathers. The pattern of upper airway collapse will be characterized using the VOTE classification system, a standardized DISE scoring tool assessing the Velum (V), Oropharynx (O), Tongue Base (T), and Epiglottis (E). Each anatomical site is graded on a 0-2 scale, where 0 = no obstruction, 1 = partial obstruction, and 2 =
