Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare the value of video laryngoscope in localization diagnosis of upper airway stricture in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) between awake and drug-induced sleep.
METHOD:Ninety-eight patients of OSAHS were examined with video laryngoscope to locate the upper airway stricture under awake and Midazolam-induced sleep.
RESULT:The several stricture levels under awake was 58.2% and it was 77.5% under drug induced sleep.
CONCLUSION:Several stricture levels of upper airway were founded in most of the patients of OSAHS. The upper airway stricture levels was more in the sleep than in the wake.
