Background: General anesthesia in adult humans is associated with narrowing or complete closure of the pharyngeal airway. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of progressive mandibular advancement on pharyngeal airway size in normal adults during intravenous infusion of propofol for anesthesia.
Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in nine normal adults during wakefulness and during propofol anesthesia.
