Journal ArticleDOI
Normal Polysomnographic Respiratory Values in Children and Adolescents
TL;DR: The recommended limits for normal values are as follows: OA index, 1; CA index, 0.9; oxygen desaturation, 89%; baseline saturation, 92%; and PETCO(2) > 45 mm Hg for < 10% of TST.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children after adenotonsillectomy
Riva Tauman,Tanya Gulliver,Jyoti Krishna,Hawley E. Montgomery-Downs,Louise M. O'Brien,Anna Ivanenko,David Gozal +6 more
TL;DR: Adenotonsillectomy yields improvements in respiratory abnormalities in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and comparison between the children who had AHI =1 after surgery and 22 control children showed complete normalization of sleep architecture after surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma C-reactive protein levels among children with sleep-disordered breathing.
TL;DR: Plasma CRP levels were increased among some children with SDB and were correlated with AHI, arterial oxygen saturation nadir, and arousal index measures, which may underlie inflammatory responses and lead to the cardiovascular, cognitive, and behavioral morbidities of SDB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity and obstructive sleep apnea in children.
Riva Tauman,David Gozal +1 more
TL;DR: This review will examine the current understanding of sleep-disordered breathing and associated morbidities in obese children, and summarize the range of therapeutic modalities currently available for this high-risk population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy in infants
TL;DR: Infantile OSAS due to hypertrophic adenoids and tonsils does occur in infants and unique characteristics for this age group include: male predominance, high incidence of preterm infants, failure to gain weight and high recurrence rate after surgery.
