Abstract:
Obstructive sleep apnea（OSA）is a common childhood upper airway obstructive disease that disrupts normal ventilation and sleep，causing serious damage to children's physical and mental health.In recent years，the incidence of OSA has risen，drawing social concern.While polysomnography（PSG）is the "gold standard" for diagnosing OSA in children，its clinical application has limitations due to its complexity and time-consuming nature.Impulse oscillometry（IOS）is a new pulmonary function testing technique that offers a quick and easy measurement of airway resistance，reflecting the state of upper airway resistance.It can aid in the screening and evaluation of this disease.This article reviews the progress of IOS in early screening and assessment of OSA in children，aiming to offer new approaches for evaluating and managing OSA.
