The proposed studies will examine the sites and mechanisms of narrowing and collapse of the upper airway (throat) in individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) during different levels of general anaesthesia, stages of sleep and head postures. The studies will help us understand the reasons for upper airway collapse in individuals with OSA and may result in the development of methods of identifying the most appropriate patients for specific surgical treatments of OSA.

拟议的研究将检查阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）患者在不同程度的全身麻醉、睡眠阶段和头部姿势期间上气道（喉咙）狭窄和塌陷的部位和机制。这些研究将帮助我们了解 OSA 患者上气道塌陷的原因，并可能开发出确定最适合 OSA 特定手术治疗患者的方法。
