Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in children and is the mainstay treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Children with OSA have a higher risk of perioperative respiratory morbidity. Diagnosis of OSA is made by overnight polysomnography, but this resource is rare and expensive so children at risk for OSA must be ...

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1989
Obstructive sleep disorders and apnea are commonly seen in children of all ages. The obstruction usually causes snoring and varying periods of interrupted breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep disorders cause multiple physiologic disturbances and should be treated before they become severe.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Atherosclerosis
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2009Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity and excess in mortality. Atherosclerosis has been shown to occur in OSA patients free of any other significant risk factors. In particular, intima media thickness, an early marker of atherosclerosis, may be increased at the carotid level in OSA.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a very common and underdiagnosed condition across the world. It affects both pediatric and adult populations in unique but important ways. Long-term health risks associated with OSA include cardiovascular conditions, metabolic disorders, depression as well as poor work performance, and increased risk of motor vehicle ...

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2012Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a common but often unrecognized disorder caused by pharyngeal collapse during sleep and characterized by frequent awakenings, disrupted sleep and consequent excessive daytime sleepiness. With the increasing epidemic of obesity, the most important risk factor for OSA, prevalence of the disease will increase over

This chapter outlines the surgical management of children who experience symptoms of airway obstruction after undergoing pharyngeal flap surgery or sphincter pharyngoplasty for the correction of velopharyngeal insufficiency. It also describes the management of children with hyponasality following these corrective surgical interventions.

Sites of Obstruction in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Chest, 2002The aim of this article was to identify the most common sites of obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by a systematic review of published studies.The review was conducted by a MEDLINE search of the English literature published during the years 1980 to 2002.

Obesity and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
2021Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by upper airway collapse during sleep. Chronic intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, and inflammatory activation are the main pathophysiological mechanisms of OSA. OSA is highly prevalent in obese patients and may contribute to cardiometabolic risk by exerting detrimental effects on adipose tissue ...

This 62-year-old white female had been in good health for most of her life, with the exception of a history of congenital heart disease. In 1975, at the age of 55, she was found to have an ostium primum atrial septal defect, as well as a cleft mitral valve which was mildly regurgitant. Second-degree AV block was present.
