What Is Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

It’s a Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) where a child’s breathing stops or becomes shallow due to blocked upper airway (often from large tonsils/adenoids).

Signs include loud snoring, restless sleep, daytime sleepiness, and poor attention in school.
Diagnostics include upper airway endoscopy and polysomnography (sleep study).

Treatment may involve tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy or CPAP therapy.
