Title:<\/strong> Mapping the upper airway with high-resolution manometry and machine learning to improve surgery selection for obstructive sleep apnea<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> Surgeons use drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE), the state-of-the-art for phenotyping the upper airway, to help select appropriate surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Nevertheless, DISE is far from perfect: it is costly, subjective, imprecise, suffers from variable interrater reliability, and requires the patient undergo general anesthesia. High-resolution manometry (HRM) is a well-established technology for characterizing esophageal motility patterns. In this talk, we propose using HRM and machine learning techniques to objectively map collapse patterns of the upper airway in OSA. Our proposed methods open up new possibilities in OSA management, creating the potential for reliable, accurate, low-cost phenotyping of the upper airway in sedated or natural sleep.<\/p>\n

Bio:<\/strong> Dr. David Kent is currently an Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Director of Sleep Surgery in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at ÌÀÍ·Ìõ University Medical Center. His academic interests lie in the neurophysiology of the upper airway, with a focus on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). He has investigated the clinical efficacy of hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy, the utility of drug-induced sleep endoscopy, and has published research proposing novel neurostimulation therapies for OSA. In collaboration with colleagues in bioinformatics, he has developed techniques for objective phenotyping of the upper airway and applications for machine learning in polysomnography scoring. He is a member of the AASM\u2019s Artificial Intelligence Task Force and is the Chair of the AASM\u2019s Surgical Guidelines for OSA in Adults Task Force, responsible for updating the professional organization\u2019s national guidelines for sleep clinicians regarding surgical therapies for OSA.<\/p>\n
