An endoscopic evaluation of which parts of your airway collapsed as you breathed in with nostrils sealed off. Some doctors think this "Muller manuever" just might be an approximation of your dynamic airway collapse during true apneas during sleep. Your upper airway totally closed off, but your lower airway closed only 75%100% upper Muller collapse and 75% lower Muller collapse.
Imressions: 1) profound Obstructive Sleep ApneaIMP 1 OSA profound 2 ETD
2) Eustachian Tube Disorder ??? (if so, ETD as a possible contraindication/precaution regarding positive air pressure complications of the inner ear)
