Would patients using an anti-snoring appliance intraoperatively require less airway manipulation, interventions, and rescue maneuvers during anesthetic sedation cases compared to those who do not? The investigators will use anti-snoring appliance devices (specifically the FDA approved Zyppah) to attempt to relieve tissue obstructions that cause snoring during sleep. The application of the devices to the body is less invasive than other common intraoperative rescue airway devices (e.g. nasal trumpets and oral airways) which are not designed to be patient specific.
