Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study seeks to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of the novel sedative Remimazolam with Dexmedetomidine in Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE), evaluating their performance in sedation depth stability, incidence of adverse events, and postoperative recovery time, thereby providing evidence-based guidance for sedative selection in OSA patients. Additionally, it aims to develop a model for predicting upper airway obstruction sites by analyzing Polysomnography (PSG) data with artificial intelligence, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment decision-making efficiency for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) to optimize clinical management.
