Summary:To review the literature on drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and summarize the key aspects of this procedure, which is performed for patients with sleep-disordered breathing who are being considered for surgical treatment. DISE provides a way to view multiple levels of the airway during drug-induced sleep in order to determine the anatomical location, severity, and pattern of collapse. It is a practical method of upper airway evaluation that is relatively inexpensive, time efficient, and does not involve radiation exposure. DISE, however, has not been compared to other methods of upper airway assessment in head-to-head evaluation, thereby making interstudy comparisons difficult. DISE has been shown to be safe, influential in the surgical decision-making process, and effective in improving outcomes from airway surgery. DISE is a viable option preceding surgical airway treatment; however, further study and standardization is needed to improve training and interpretation.
