Upper airway obstruction of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) occurring during sleep can appear at multiple sites. Successful results of hyoid myotomy with suspension (HM) in the treatment of hypopharyngeal obstruction performed under general anesthesia have been reported. However, many OSAS patients have difficulty at the induction of anesthesia and intubation. They are predisposed to specific complications owing to anatomical abnormalities of the airway and the existence… CONTINUE READING
