Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a disorder in which a child experiences pauses in their breathing while sleeping. It is most commonly caused by the upper airway becoming blocked or collapsed due to enlarged tonsils or adenoids. OSA can lead to disruptions in normal sleep patterns, reduced cognitive functioning, and can cause significant health problems. Early diagnosis and treatment of pediatric OSA is important for proper development and overall health. Treatment options can include adenotonsillectomy (surgical removal of enlarged tonsils and adenoids), positive airway pressure devices, and lifestyle changes.
