Rentabilidad de la poligrafía respiratoria del sueño realizada en el domicilio

Normal values for respiratory sleep polygraphy in children aged 4 to 9 years at 2,560 m above sea level

“…This limitation paradoxically strengthens our findings, because with RP it is obviously impossible to establish the occurrence of cortical arousals, and therefore, a proportion of the events will be omitted from the respiratory indices (Alonso-Álvarez et al, 2015). On the other hand, several publications support the use of RP as a reliable, physiological and cost-efficient tool for diagnosis of OSAS (Alonso- Alvarez et al, 2008;Alonso-Álvarez et al, 2015;Sardón-Prado et al 2006). Furthermore, European paediatric consensus guidelines recommend RP as an optional sleep type for diagnosing sleep-disordered breathing in children in resource-limited settings (Farquhar M et al, 2020).…”

Home Respiratory Polygraphy is Useful in the Diagnosis of Childhood Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

“…This technique has some drawbacks, which include underestimation of respiratory events, incapacity to assess neurophysiological parameters, and possible technical problems due to lack of surveillance, but could be useful in moderate-to-severe childhood OSAS. More studies are needed to determine which patients could most benefit from this test [ 20 , 21 ].…”

Successful Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide Measurements with NIOX VERO using 6- and 10-s Exhalation Modes in Children with Asthma Aged 4–10 Years: A Randomized Study

“…Previous studies have shown a correlation between the 6-s and 10-s modes using NIOX MINO Ò in children aged 4-17 years [16][17][18] for which two studies showed a greater success rate when the 6-s mode was used in younger children [16,18]. Other studies have also shown the feasibility of the 6-s mode in FeNO fractional exhaled nitric oxide children (aged 4-18 years) using the NIOX MINO Ò device [19][20][21][22][23].…”
