Video endoscopy
A detailed examination of the patient's upper respiratory tract during sleep in order to identify the cause of snoring, the severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and to resolve the issue of long-range treatment tactics.
Snoring and sleep apnea can lead to chronic fatigue, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Video endoscopy allows you to identify the anatomical and functional causes of disorders in order to develop a treatment plan.
During video endoscopy, the doctor uses a fibroendoscope equipped with a mini video camera. The device is inserted through the patient's nose and allows you to get a detailed image of the respiratory tract and larynx. The procedure helps to accurately diagnose problems and determine the most appropriate treatment methods, such as using a CPAP machine or surgical interventions.
Before video endoscopy, it is necessary to: Consult with an otorhinolaryngologist to determine the indications for the procedure Perform general blood and urine tests
The procedure is performed strictly on an empty stomach under conditions of drug sedation, which is close to the depth of natural sleep. The anesthesiologist monitors the patient's condition while the ENT doctor examines the respiratory tract with a fibroendoscope. After the procedure, the data of video endoscopy is analyzed to determine the causal factor of snoring formation, count snoring episodes, frequency, duration, and analysis of oxygen saturation in tissues.
For video endoscopy, we use: A thin flexible endoscope with a video camera Monitor for video display and recording Sedatives for light sedation
For several hours after the procedure, it is recommended to avoid driving and performing difficult tasks. The doctor discusses the results of the procedure with the patient and prescribes further treatment or additional examinations if necessary.
