Sleep and Breathing the First Night After Adenotonsillectomy in Obese Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

摘要

Study Objectives:There are few studies measuring postoperative respiratory complications in obese children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing adenotonsillectomy (AT). These complications are further compounded by perioperative medications. Our objective was to study obese children with OSA for their respiratory characteristics and sleep architecture on the night of AT.
