What is Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy?

Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows doctors to observe the airways during a state that closely mimics natural sleep. The procedure is performed under light, controlled sedation, which helps in identifying the areas of airway obstruction that contribute to sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

A2: Patients are advised to avoid eating and drinking for several hours before the procedure. Specific instructions will be provided by your doctor based on your health history.
