Peds Snoring

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Incidence of Primary Snoring   7-10% of pediatric population. Before puberty: M=F, after puberty: M>F. nl labs  
🗑
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrom   1-3% of pediatric population, peak ages: 2-7 yo (also when tonsils and adenoids grow in),  
🗑
Sx of obstructive sleep apnea: Sleeping - snoring, observed apnea, resuscitative gasps, disturbed or restless sleep, paradoxical chest wall movements, observed difficulty breathing, enuresis. Awake sx:   mouth breathing, nasal obstruction, excessive daytime tiredness, behavioral problems, hyperactivity, trouble concentrating  
🗑
PE of patient with Obstructive breathing   frequently normal, adenotonsillar hypertrophy, macroglossia, retrognathia, obesity vs poor growth, blood pressure, cardiac examination  
🗑
Components of the Upper Airway   nose, nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx, larynx  
🗑
Lab evaulation:   CBC/electrolytes (late finding, not so helpful), ECG, CXR (not so helpful), sinus films, lateral neck films, polysomnography (very helpful)  
🗑
Gold standard for obstructive breathing/sleep apnea   polysomnography  
🗑
Screening studies   clinical screening tests, home videotaping, wrist band actuator/bed monitor, overnight oximetry, home sleep studies, polysomnography  
🗑
What is measured in a sleep study?   EEG, EMG (+/-limb leads), SaO2, Impedance monitoring (chest wall, abdomen), EOG, ECG, EtCO2, Nasal/oral airflow, pH probe, video EEG, Esophageal manometry  
🗑
Obstructive apnea   in children: obstructive apneas for 2 or more breaths.in adults: obstructive apnea > 10 seconds  
🗑
Central Apnea   central apnea >/= 20 secondsany central apnea associated with an O2 desaturation > 4% and/or bradycardia  
🗑
Hypopnea   decrease in measured airflow of  50%  
🗑
Apnea index   child: >1 apneas/hour, adult>5-10 apneas/hour  
🗑
Adult tx options for obstructive sleep apnea   weight loss, CPAP, Surgery, Dental appliances, Medication  
🗑
Ped tx options for obstructive sleep apnea   observation, surgery, weight loss, CPAP, (dental appliances), (meds)  
🗑
Indications for Surgery   failed CPAP therapy, Patient is not a candidate for CPAP therapy, surgically amenable problem  
🗑
Nasopharynx causes of obstruction   turbinate enlargement, deviated septum, nasal polyps  
🗑
Oropharynx causes of obstruction   tonsillar hypertrophy, adenohypertrophy, macroglossia, adipose tissue  
🗑
Hypopharynx causes of obstruction   adipose tissue, macroglossia, mandibular size or structure abnormalities (such as micrognathia or retrognathia)  
🗑
micrognathia definition   small jaw  
🗑
retrognathia definition   a type of malocclusion which refers to a maxilla or mandible which is further posterior than would be expected.  
🗑
weight loss and sleep apnea reduction   Number of apneas decreases by up to 50% for each 10% decrease in weight  
🗑
CPAP   continuous positive airway pressure  
🗑
Meds for sleep apnea   oxygen (address low SaO2 not apnea), thyroxine, theophylline, acetozolamide, medroxyprogesterone, antidepressants (SSRIs, TCAs)  
🗑
Most common cause of sleep apnea in kids   enlarged tonsils and adenoids  
🗑
most common cause of sleep apnea in adults   obesity  
🗑
Indications for Polysomnography: snoring, witness apneas, restless sleep, excessive daytime tiredness, sleep disturbances (parasomnias, dyssomnias), seizures and   neuromuscular dz with FEV1<40-50%, assessment of alveolar hypoventilation, poorly controlled SS dz, unexplained: pulmonary HTN, cor pulmonale, polycythemia  
🗑
Treatments of choice for OSA   surgery (T &A), weight loss, and CPAP  
🗑
Most common surgery for kids with OSA   T & A  
🗑
OSA complications   Pulmonary HTN, Devleopmental Delay, growth retardation, death, co pulmonale, behavioral problems, failure to thrive (FTT)  
🗑
