End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Measurement during Pediatric Polysomnography: Signal Quality Association with Apnea Severity and Prediction of Neurobehavioral Outcomes

摘要

Study Objectives:To identify the role of end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) monitoring during polysomnography in evaluation of children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), including the correlation of EtCO2 with other measures of OSAS and prediction of changes in cognition and behavior after adenotonsillectomy.
