The Bajaus’ ability to free dive for prolonged periods is attributed to their exceptional physiologic response and large spleens. The spleen has been traditionally viewed as a hematologic and immunologic organ. Unconventionally, this review explores the spleen’s role as a respiratory organ and how apnea training can enhance the spleen’s form and function. Eligible articles obtained from Pubmed were discussed. The selected studies have shown that an 8-week home-based apnea training regimen can enhance the spleen volume by as much as 24% and that prolonged apnea training can increase both splenic contraction and baseline serum hemoglobin levels. However, the sample size and heterogeneity of these studies largely limit the generalizability of these findings. Thus, several future studies are needed to further explore the spleen’s respiratory function in humans.

OBJECTIVE
Our study aimed to identify and describe pulmonary complications and its associated risk factors in children with suspected or confirmed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who underwent tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy in a tertiary government hospital.
METHODSWe conducted a retrospective cohort study. Medical charts of pediatric patients with suspected or confirmed OSA who were admitted for tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020 were retrieved and reviewed. Information of the individual patients including the demographic data, clinical profile, polysomnography results, and presence of postoperative pulmonary complications were recorded. Descriptive statistics was utilized to present continuous data while frequency and percentage for categorical data. Fisher exact test was used to compare the demographic profile of patients with postoperative pulmonary complications from those without.
RESULTSA total of 90 patient records were analyzed. The mean age of the patient population was 7.87 years, 55.6% were male, 17.8% of patients were classified as obese. Thirty-four children had preoperative polysomnography and of these, 47.1% were classified as severe. Only two (2.2%) patients had postoperative pulmonary complications, which were bronchospasm and desaturation, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences noted in comparing the clinicodemographic profile of patients with postoperative pulmonary complications from those without complications.
CONCLUSIONOur results showed that most pediatric patients with suspected or confirmed OSA who underwent adenotonsillectomy did not have pulmonary complications.
