  Croft and Pringle were first to propose a sleep endoscopic procedure in 1991 [1] in drug induced sleep “DISE”. Since they used first midazolam as a sedating agent, the procedure was named “MISE” midazolam induced sleep endoscopy. Today propofol is the preferred narcotic agent to allow for naso-pharyngo-laryngoscopy by means of a fiberoptic endoscope or chip on tip video-endoscopes.
