The old Indian literature describes a technique known as Sutra-Neti. That is, passing a catheter or similar material through the nose and out of the mouth as a means of clearing the airway. One of our patients adapted this method, tying the catheter end to end, in order to control his severe snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea. This was effective for several months. He subsequently responded well to a uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.
古印度文献描述了一种名为“经鼻净气法”的技术。也就是说，将导管或类似材料经鼻插入并从口腔穿出，以此作为清理气道的一种方式。我们有一位患者采用了这种方法，将导管首尾相连，以控制其严重的打鼾和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停。这种方法在几个月内都很有效。他随后接受悬雍垂腭咽成形术，效果良好。
