Does anyone definitively know if there is an objective way to tell if collapse of the epiglottis is interfering with CPAP treatment, making CPAP not fully effective? Would there be any clues regarding breathing waveforms or AHI, for example?
(My past DISE revealed collapse of the epiglottis.)

Freeze this moment a little bit longer.
Make each sensation a little bit stronger.
Experience slips away.
