Evaluation of Therapeutic Positive Airway Pressure as a Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Predictor in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

In this small prospective cohort study, therapeutic nasal PAP levels during DISE differed significantly between responder and nonresponders to HGNS. Because DISE represents a mandatory, relatively standardized diagnostic tool for HGNS candidacy, the use of therapeutic nasal PAP through DISE can be broadly implemented and studied across multiple centers to possibly improve patient selection for HGNS.
