Although first line therapy of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children is adeno-tonsillectomy, the indications for this operation have not yet been clearly established. We investigated whether pulse-oximetry is useful for determining the optional treatment modality for pediatric SDB.
Two hundred and thirty-two children presenting with snoring and gasping had their oxygen saturation levels examined during sleep. Among them, 86 underwent on adeno-tonsillectomy and were evaluated pre- and post-surgery. We also examined 25 healthy children as controls.
Little desaturation was observed in healthy children. The difference in oxygen saturation levels of the patients between pre- and post-surgery was closely correlated with the pre-surgery levels. We examined the reaction operation characteristics and concluded that children with an oxygen desaturation index of 4% or more (ODI4) of more than 1.5 and/or ODI3 of more than 3.5 should undergo surgery.
Pulse-oximetry is useful in determining the indications for adeno-tonsillectomy.
尽管儿童睡眠呼吸障碍(SDB)的一线治疗方法是腺样体扁桃体切除术,但该手术的指征尚未明确确立。我们研究了脉搏血氧饱和度测定法是否有助于确定小儿SDB的最佳治疗方式。
对232名有打鼾和喘息症状的儿童在睡眠期间进行血氧饱和度水平检测。其中,86名接受了腺样体扁桃体切除术,并在手术前后进行了评估。我们还检查了25名健康儿童作为对照。
健康儿童中未观察到明显的血氧饱和度下降。患者手术前后血氧饱和度水平的差异与术前水平密切相关。我们检查了反应手术特征,并得出结论,血氧饱和度下降指数(ODI4)大于1.5且/或ODI3大于3.5的儿童应接受手术。
脉搏血氧饱和度测定法有助于确定腺样体扁桃体切除术的指征。
