Respiratory obstruction is a frequent consequence of sedation due to the collapsibility of the velopharynx. Several approaches are available to eliminate this obstruction, including CPAP, mandibular advancement, nasal airways, and laryngeal mask airways. Practical approaches to the use of these measures are described.
