Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the sleep pattern induced by clonidine and propofol in terms of proportion of patients who reach the N2 sleep phase without progressing to other phases during the examination;Secondary Objective: To compare during the examination and by direct observation or blind evaluation: Site of upper airway collapse OAA/s (Observational sedation scale) and BIS (Bispectral Index) Correlation between BIS and EEG Duration and results of the examination;Primary end point(s): Proportion of patients that reach sleep phase N2 without progressing to deeper sleep phases, assessed by means of hypnogram;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During the endoscopic examination

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Mean oxigen saturation BP (Systolic and Dyastolic) Degree of baseline subjective somnolence Degree of reproducibility of the examination Examination of the upper airway collapse areas Characteristics of the snore Duration of the examination (in minutes) Maniouvres that modify the snore/apnea;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During the endoscopic examination
