Sleep disordered breathing in childhood.
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in childhood is linked with significant end-organ dysfunction across various systems, particularly with cardiovascular, neurocognitive and metabolic consequences. If we understand the pathophysiology of SDB, diagnose it promptly and treat appropriately, we may be able to prevent morbidity associated with SDB and also save health resources around the world. In th...

متن کاملCan pulse transit time be useful for detecting hypertension in patients in a sleep unit?
INTRODUCTION Pulse transit time (PTT) is the time that a pulse wave takes to travel between two different arterial points, and may be useful in estimating blood pressure. This noninvasive technique, which does not add any cost to the procedure, offers the advantage of avoiding 'arousals' during sleep measurement as occurs with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). We aim to confirm the u...
متن کاملSleep-disordered breathing in children: time to wake up!
Accurate identification of the prevalence of primary snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the pediatric population is critical for different reasons: a) estimate the magnitude of the problem; b) inference on the relationships with other emergent childhoodhealth problems, such as obesity; c) possibility of preventing long-term consequences; d) identification of population subgroups that ...
متن کاملChanges in pulse transit time and pulse rate as markers of arousal from sleep in normal subjects.
1. Obstructive sleep apnoea and its variants often provoke hundreds of short arousals that lead to the most important symptom, disabling hypersomnolence. The measurement of sleep in these conditions requires the documentation of these short arousals and this is conventionally done by manual inspection of the sleeping EEG, a laborious procedure. 2. Other markers of 'arousal', that are easier to ...
