Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was studied in 32 children, aged 2 to 14 years, in the sleep-wake disorders center at Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center during the years 1977 to 1980. All children underwent all-night polysomnograms; 17 of these children had surgery to relieve airway obstruction and seven had a repeat polysomnographic study 4 to 6 weeks following the surgery. There was a significant improvement in the number of obstructive apneas and in other apnea indices following surgery. There was no significant effect on the durations and the proportions of the various sleep stages, on sleep efficiency, or on the number of awakenings.
1977年至1980年间，在蒙特菲奥里医院及医疗中心的睡眠-觉醒障碍中心对32名年龄在2至14岁的儿童进行了阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征的研究。所有儿童均接受了整夜多导睡眠图检查；其中17名儿童接受了手术以缓解气道阻塞，7名儿童在术后4至6周进行了重复多导睡眠图检查。术后阻塞性呼吸暂停的次数及其他呼吸暂停指标有显著改善。手术对各个睡眠阶段的时长和比例、睡眠效率或觉醒次数均无显著影响。
