Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children

Preetam Bandla et al. Anesthesiol Clin North Am. 2005 Sep.

Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. This results in the disruption of normal ventilation and sleep patterns. The symptoms, polysomnographic findings, pathophysiology, and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome are significantly different in children from those seen in adults.
