Central events were present in almost half of our cohort. At least 95% of patients were expected to transition to obstructive events within 12 to 13 minutes of propofol initiation. In addition, over half of patients demonstrate significantly different VOTE scores between central and obstructive events. These factors should raise awareness of central events and scoring passive apneas during DISE and consider delaying VOTE scoring.
