[Screening: from prescription to interpretation in children's obstructive sleep apnea syndrome].

The supply and the demand for sleep recording in children are increasing. With no lower age limit, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome can be diagnosed in a lab run by a staff trained in conducting and interpreting children's sleep traces recorded with an adapted material. Whichever the criteria used to quote respiratory events, a relevant diagnosis is performed using both clinical presentation and results of sleep traces.
