Overview

Sleep apnoea syndrome is one of the most common sleep breathing disorders. Despite the wide choice of new approaches available, success rate of surgical treatment is still significantly lower than in case of the positive airway pressure therapy – even though this treatment is not well tolerated by the majority of patients. Drug Induced Sleep Endoscopy is an easy and safe diagnostic method that helps us to identify the exact location, severity and shape of the upper airways obstruction. This facilitates increased precision of subsequent surgery and improves its outcome.

Key words:
sleep apnoea syndrome – drug-induced sleep endoscopy – upper airways obstruction

The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE “uniform requirements” for biomedical papers.
