| ABSTRACT |
|
In children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), Polysomnography (PSG) is recommended as the gold standard diagnostic
test to evaluate the severity of OSAS. When compared to adults with OSAS, there are some differences in definition and clinical diagnosis
in children with OSAS. Laboratory-based nocturnal PSG is expensive, uncomfortable, not readily accessible, delay definite treatment
for OSAS. Therefore, We just performed the PSG in suspected children with OSAS who caregiver want to know objectively the sleep
and respiratory disturbances during sleep. In addition, PSG may be performed in children who had high postoperative residual or
recurrence OSAS after surgery and high peri-operative risk, such as, postoperative respiratory compromise, or bleeding tendency.
