| The subjects were TAVI cases performed by sedation and local anesthesia at our facility. We defined the time when patients entered the operating room and were in the supine position as T0. We defined the time at when dexmedetomidine and propofol were administered and sedation was achieved without movement even with strong pinching as T1. Next, we defined the time when the JED was attached as T2. X-ray images of the head and neck were taken at T0, T1, and T2, and we measured the distance from the soft palate to the posterior pharyngeal wall (AW1) and the distance from the epiglottis to the posterior pharyngeal wall (AW2). We calculated the ratio of AW1 and AW2 in T1 to T0 and the ratio of AW1 and AW2 in T2 to T0, and determined the effect of JED on preventing airway obstruction. | — |
