Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Diagnosed OSA patients (as scheduled for DISE procedure), 2. American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS) I and II, 3. Between 18-65 years of age of either gender.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patientââ?¬•s refusal; 2. Inability to perform maneuvers as per study protocol; 3. History of syndromic craniofacial abnormalities (e.g., Down syndrome); 4.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess percentage change in the retropalatal diameter during Muller�s maneuver for predicting severe OSA.Timepoint: Baseline (pre drug induced sleep endoscopy procedure)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
-To assess 1. Percentage change in the tongue base thickness during Muller�s manoeuvre, 2. Tongue thickness/oral cavity height ratio, 3. Hyomental distance ratio, for predicting the severity of OSA.Timepoint: Baseline (pre drug induced sleep endoscopy procedure);-To correlate the dynamic airway ultrasound findings with the corresponding anatomical level findings in DISETimepoint: Baseline ultrasonography and DISE findings at the end of DISE procedure
