About

Giulia Rosanova is a leading clinical researcher in sleep medicine and anesthesiology, best known for her pioneering work in optimizing diagnostic techniques for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Her primary research focuses on drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE), a procedure that uses sedative-hypnotics to simulate sleep and identify the anatomical sites of airway obstruction in patients with severe OSA. Rosanova’s most cited study, "Safety and Efficacy of Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy Using a Probability Ramp Propofol Infusion System in Patients with Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea" (2014, 42 citations), introduced a novel, precisely controlled propofol dosing strategy that significantly improved the reliability and safety of DISE. This work has been instrumental in standardizing sedation protocols, reducing procedural risks, and enhancing the diagnostic accuracy of sleep endoscopy. Her contributions have directly influenced clinical guidelines and surgical planning for OSA patients, offering a more personalized approach to treatment. With a growing citation impact, Rosanova is recognized as a key figure bridging anesthesiology and sleep medicine, and her research continues to shape safer, more effective interventions for one of the most prevalent sleep disorders worldwide.
