Zusammenfassung:Research also indicates that epiglottic collapse is difficult to treat with conventional therapies, such as oral appliances or even CPAP. [...]recognizing whether and how often a patient's upper airway collapses at the epiglottis can have important implications for treatment. In this study, we hypothesized that epiglottic collapse produces a distinct and identifiable airflow pattern. [...]we sought to develop an automated algorithm to detect epiglottic collapse using the airflow signal.
