Breathing new life: can lung volume predict sleep apnea surgery success?

This study looks at how the amount of air in your lungs affects throat collapse during sleep in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Researchers will use a special camera to watch the throat while patients are sedated, and try changing lung volume with a chest device or neck electrodes. The goal is to help doctors better decide if surgery will work for each patient. About 200 adults with OSA who are already planning surgery will take part.
