Patients who did not qualify for continuous positive airway pressure therapy underwent split-night examination with an inserted Na\u015btent for the first half of the night. The next morning, drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) was performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 122 enrolled patients, 21 were excluded because of Na\u015btent intolerance (n\u2009=\u200914) or technically invalid examinations (n\u2009=\u20097). Among the remaining 101 patients, in correlation with DISE, the apnea\u2013hypopnea index was significantly reduced in patients with palatal obstructions, mainly in those with anteroposterior collapse patterns. The Na\u015btent did not influence retrolingual or multilevel obstructions. Using a 40% reduction of the apnea\u2013hypopnea index by the Na\u015btent as a cut-off value, 85.7% of soft palate obstructions were detected compared with DISE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Na\u015btent is a viable tool to reduce palatal obstructions, although it is not readily tolerated.
