Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects nearly one billion people worldwide. Natural sleep endoscopy (NSE) is the ideal standard for evaluating airway collapse under physiological sleep but has been unfeasible due to practical limitations. This study evaluates the feasibility of home-based sleep endoscopy during natural sleep using a novel endoscope system.
