Summary

This trial is studying a new way to examine the upper airway in people with obstructive sleep apnea who are getting surgery for their sleep apnea. The study is finding out how well this new technique works and if it can help predict who will or will not respond to sleep apnea surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are considering surgery. It's not suitable for pregnant women, minors, prisoners, those unable to consent in English, or individuals allergic to propofol or its components like soybean oil and egg lecithin.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the use of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) with Propofol sedation to evaluate upper airway issues in OSA patients. It aims to assess the reliability of DISE and compare it with other techniques like X-rays.
What are the potential side effects?
Propofol may cause side effects such as pain at the injection site, low blood pressure, drowsiness after waking up from sedation, and rarely severe allergic reactions.
