Oropharyngeal obstruction and respiratory system compliance are linked to ventilatory control parameters in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Abstract: Instable ventilatory control is an endotypic trait of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). This study aimed to evaluate the relationships between the anatomical compromise of the upper (oro- and naso-pharynx) and lower airways and ventilatory control (measured by chemical loop gain) in otherwise healthy children suffering from moderate to severe OSAS (apnea hypopnea index ≥ 5/hour). The children underwent ear, nose and throat examination, measurement of impedance of the respiratory system that allowed char… Show more

“…The size of the tonsils and adenoids was recorded prior to surgery. Tonsils were graded as follows: 10 Grade I, tonsil confined to tonsillar fossa; Grade II, tonsils extending just outside the anterior pillars; Grade III, tonsils extending outside the posterior pillars but not meeting in the midline; and Grade IV, tonsils meeting in the midline and almost completely obstructing the airway. Size of the adenoids was graded based on the percentage of adenoid tissue occupying the rhinopharyngeal cavity: grade 1 (<25%); grade 2 (<50%); grade 3 (<75%); and grade 4 (>75%).…”
