Abstract
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is a treatment option for patients with obstructive sleep apnea who are intolerant to positive airway pressure therapy. In the post-implant period, awake endoscopy with advanced programming (AEAP) can be employed to optimize apnea-hypopnea index reduction and/or patient comfort and usage. The report herein describes awake endoscopy with AEAP as a guide to providers involved in post-implant care. The first 5 consecutive patients were reviewed to provide general understanding of outcomes and safety when implementing such a protocolized approach.
