Summary
This study tested whether a thin pressure-sensing tube (high-resolution manometry) can accurately detect where the airway gets blocked during sleep in people with obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers compared it to the standard method, drug-induced sleep endoscopy, in 18 adults and children. The goal was to see if this new tool could provide a more complete and objective picture of airway obstructions to help guide treatment.
