A new scoring system for upper airway pediatric sleep endoscopy.
IMPORTANCE Sleep-associated upper-airway obstruction in children is a significant cause of morbidity. Development of a simple, standardized, quantitative technique to assess anatomic causes of sleep-related breathing disorder is important for surgical planning, clinical communication, and research. OBJECTIVE To design, implement, and evaluate a scoring system to quantify airway obstruction in...
متن کاملAirway observations during upper endoscopy predicting obstructive sleep apnea
BACKGROUND This pilot study examined airway characteristics during upper endoscopy to determine who is at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS Patients undergoing routine upper endoscopy were divided into 2 groups according to the Berlin Questionnaire (high and low risk for sleep disordered breathing). Patients underwent routine upper endoscopy using propofol sedation. The airway wa...
متن کاملA New Clinical Scoring System for Adenoid Hypertrophy in Children
Introduction: Chronic nasal obstruction due to adenoid hypertrophy is a very common disorder. Although the clinical assessment of adenoid hypertrophy is essential, its real value in young children is difficult to evaluate. The purpose of this prospective study was to validate a simple clinical score to predict the severity of adenoid obstruction and to evaluate the relationship between this met...
متن کاملDrug-induced sleep endoscopy for upper airway evaluation in children with obstructive sleep apnea.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate sites and characteristics of upper airway obstruction, as detected with drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). MATERIAL AND METHODS The medical records of children who underwent DISE were reviewed. Data pertaining to demographics, past medical history, body mass index, tonsil size, adenoid size, polysomnography, an...
متن کاملUpper airway collapsibility in habitual snorers and sleep apneics: evaluation with drug-induced sleep endoscopy.
Increased upper airway collapsibility has been suspected of being involved in the pathogenesis of sleep-related diseases. It is assumed that patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) show a stronger collapse of the upper airway compared with habitual snorers. It was the objective of this study to analyze the patterns of upper airway collapse in habitual snorers and patients w...
