OSA SYNDROME AND ALLERGIC RESPIRATORY DISEASES Upper Airway Diseases A. Kaditis, MD Pediatric Pulmonology Unit, Sleep Disorders Laboratory First Department of Pediatrics University of Athens School of Medicine and Aghia Sophia Children’s Hospital Athens, Greece Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) Spectrum of abnormal respiratory patterns during sleep characterized by snoring and increased respiratory effort Primary snoring Upper airway resistance syndrome Obstructive hypoventilation Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) OSA: Syndrome of Upper Airway Dysfunction Genes, environment Genes, environment Multiple Disorders affecting components of the Upper Airway (e.g. tonsils, facial structures, dilator muscles) Upper Airway Dysfunction over time may lead to overt morbidity (e.g. hypertension, enuresis, EDS) Upper Airway Resistance Apnea Hypopnea Step 1: Recognize the child at risk for obstructive SDB Step 2: Identify SDBrelated morbidity or conditions co-existing with SDB (probably common pathogenesis) Step 3: Step 4: Assess Step 5: Recognize severity of Determine factors SDB indications predicting objectively (if for treatment persistence of equipment SDB available) Step 6: Stepwise Step 7: Follow-up, treatment approach for diagnosis and SDB management of persistent SDB Step 1: Recognize Symptoms of nocturnal airway obstruction the child at risk for 1. Snoring obstructive SDB Assess by history + exam 2. Reported apneas during sleep 3. Difficulty breathing during sleep 4. Restless sleep 5. Frequent arousals Abnormalities predisposing to upper airway obstruction 1. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy/allergic rhinitis 2. Obesity 3. Craniofacial abnormalities 4. Neuromuscular disorders History increasing the risk for SDB 1. Premature birth 2. Family history of SDB Upper Airway Dysfunction and Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy Villa et al.

AJRCCM 2002;165:123-7 Before After Step 7: Follow up after each therapeutic Follow-up, intervention and if no response move diagnosis to the next intervention and management Consider objective testing for of persistent selected children for selected SDB children: -High AHI pre-treatment -post AT in children with obesity, craniofacial abnormalities, neuromuscular disorders -post orthodontic treatment -post nCPAP -prior to craniofacial surgery or tracheostomy Bhattarjee et al. AT outcomes in Treatment of OSA in Children. AJRCCM 2010; 182:676-683 Conclusions Intermittent upper airway obstruction during sleep in childhood: Is associated with disorders affecting upper airway resistance and pharyngeal neuromotor tone Is related to morbidity from the CNS and the cardiovascular system Severe upper airway obstruction during sleep and mild obstruction with morbidity or risk factors for persistence should be treated All disorders leading to upper airway obstruction should be addressed in a stepwise fashion
