Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the characteristics of respiration events of sleep disordered breathing in children.
METHOD:Thirty-two guide polysomnography was monitored in 203 snoring children. According to AHI and AI, they were divided into five groups and the results were analyzed by polysmith.
RESULT:The mean value of REM was higher than that of NREM. The mean value between apnea and hypopnea have significant differences (P<0.01).
CONCLUSION:1) Respiration events of children mostly happen in REM. 2) The mean value of hypopnea is higher than that of apnea. 3) Diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome in children as AI > or = 1 need research.
