Pharyngeal obstruction sites. |
Retropalatal collapse similar to during MMaand induced sleep. In contrast, retrolingual obstruction was significantly lower during MM.a
|
DISEb is safe with emphasis on retrolingual obstruction. The estimate of the obstruction level by DISEb was higher than MM.a
|
Rodriguez-Bruno et al.16
|
Pharyngeal obstruction sites at the examination retest assessed by two surgeons. |
Most showed palatal and hypopharynx collapse. Diverse obstruction patterns. |
Method reliability is good, especially for evaluation of hypopharynx sites. |
Kezirian et al.17
|
Pharyngeal obstruction sites and agreement between two surgeons. |
Collapse >50% at palatal level in 92–94% and of the hypopharynx in 83–84%. |
Inter-examiner reliability is moderate to significant. Concordance is greater in the hypopharynx assessment. |
Diverse structures contributed to the obstruction. |
Hamans et al.18
|
Pharyngeal obstruction sites. |
Monolevel palatal collapse in 31.9%. |
Safe and feasible method if performed by an anesthesiologist and useful to identify the pharyngeal collapse site. |
Monolevel tongue/hypopharynx collapse in 27.8%. |
Multilevel collapse in 31.9% of patients. |
Absence of collapse in 5.6% of patients. |
Campanini et al.14
|
Pharyngeal obstruction sites. |
Similar results in only 24%. |
Additional useful method for detecting collapse of hypopharyngeal and laryngeal sites. It is not the only one, but should be considered an additional specific tool in OSAS.c
|
Discordance in the oropharynx of 32% and in the hypopharynx of 59%. |
Laryngeal involvement in 30% during sedation. |
Ravesloot and Vries10
|
Pharyngeal obstruction sites. |
Palatal collapse in 83%, base of tongue in 56%, epiglottis in 38%, oropharynx in 7%. |
Concordance between the severity of the obstruction sites and the severity of AHI.dReports the importance of DISEb in the surgical conduct. |
Multilevel collapse in 76% of patients. |
AHId is higher in patients with multilevel obstruction. |
Rabelo et al.11
|
Pharyngeal obstruction sites. |
At DISEb collapse was observed as follows: velopharyngeal in 78%, oropharyngeal in 34%, hypopharyngeal in 54%. Collapse at single level in 47% and multilevel in 52% |
Absence concordance between the findings of patient while awake and under sedation. |
Salamanca et al.13
|
Sites and pattern of pharyngeal obstruction in two groups (AHI >15 and ≤15)d
|
AHId ≤15 with monolevel collapse in 61% and multilevel in 28%. |
DISEb is considered safe, easily feasible, valid, reliable, and essential in selecting treatment. |
AHId >15 with monolevel collapse in 46% and multilevel in 53%. |
The larynx is affected in 22.5% of cases with AHId >15 |
Soares et al.15
|
Pharyngeal obstruction sites. |
Severe retropalatal collapse with MM,a 90%, and by DISE,b 98%. |
Statistical differences in the identification of retrolingual collapse. |
Severe retrolingual collapse with MM,a 35%, and by DISE,b 84%. |
In-depth analysis of technique, training, and interpretation is required. |
Twice the probability of severe retrolingual collapse by DISE.b

Gillespie et al.12
|
Pharyngeal obstruction sites analyzed by three examiners. |
DISEb with more severe collapse than awake. |
Method with more information on pharyngeal function and collapse assisting in the surgical conduct. |
Multi-segmental collapse in 73%. |
Monolevel palatal collapse, 16%, and in base of tongue, 11%. |
Standardization of technique, training and interpretation is required. |
The surgical plan was changed in 62% of cases. |
Good results in intraand inter-examiner reliability. Correlation between DISEb and AHI severity and age. |
