Practical nasendoscopy workshop for sleep and breathing
Sunday 10 October, 0900-1500
This workshop will feature a combination of didactic and hands on guidance on the use of nasoendoscopy in assessing patients with sleep and breathing disorders. Lectures will cover in detail the use of endoscopy to assess nasal function, anatomical contributors to nasal obstruction, allergy, rhinosinusitis, lymphoid tissue and the detailed awake and asleep assessment of the patient with OSA. Target audience is sleep physicians, sleep dentists, general ENT surgeons, sleep technologists and anyone else who manages disorders of the upper airway.
Learning Objectives
1. Understand the anatomy and physiology of the nasal and pharyngeal airway
2. Identify anatomical contributors to nasal obstruction and snoring/obstructive sleep apnoea
3. Learn and practice using a flexible nasoendoscope (FNE) in a session guided by sleep specialised ENT surgeons
