Avaliação polissonográfica da síndrome da apnéia obstrutiva do sono em crianças, antes e após adenoamigdatomia

Abstract: Introdução:Nos últimos anos a Síndrome da Apnéia/ Hipopnéia Obstrutiva do Sono (SAHOS) tem despertado muito interesse por tratar-se de uma condição não totalmente estabelecida. Muitos critérios usados para definir SAHOS em adultos e crianças são diferentes entre si. Em 1995 Sabe-se que a história clínica do paciente não era suficiente para estabelecer o diagnóstico de SAHOS. Na criança a causa mais comum de SAOS é a hipertrofia adenoamigdaliana, normalmente caracterizada clinicamente pela presença de roncos no… Show more

“…The most common anatomical abnormality in children with OSAS is pharyngeal lymphatic tissue hypertrophy 14 , which occurs mainly from 3 to 8 years of age. It is worth pointing out that this abnormality seems to be a necessary factor, but it is not enough to trigger OSAS, since a) not all children with tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy have apnea, b) most children with palatine tonsils hypertrophy do not present respiratory obstruction while they are awake, when muscle tonus is increased, and c) many children that have undergone adenotonsillectomy present obstruction symptoms again in adolescence that OSAS may result from a combination of anatomical and functional abnormalities in certain children 3 .…”

“…It was a precondition that the difference between pre- and postoperative AHI could be calculated based on the study data as well as the success rate (AHI <1; AHI <5). From 55 hits of the literature research, the authors filtered 14 case series (evidence level 4) with an average of 28 (2–114) patients with a mean age of 4.9 years [94], [100], [140], [141], [164], [165], [166], [167], [168], [177], [178], [179], [180], [181]. The postoperative PSG was performed after a mean time of 98 days.…”

“…Since the disease itself is unclear, a recommendation regarding indication for TE could not be given. In contrast to adults, children experience a decreasing number of tonsillitis episodes with time [13], [180], [403], [409], [410], [436], [438], [447], [484], [486], [487], [490] (grade A), [478], [488], [491] (grade B).…”

“…É um exame quantitativo que permite a identificação e qualificação, expressa em número e duração dos eventos respiratórios anormais. É essencial para caracterizar o tipo de apneia, avaliar a gravidade da SAOS, e é útil no planejamento do tratamento e no gerenciamento pós-operatório de curto e longo prazos (ACADEMIA AMERICANA DE PEDIATRIA, 2002;AVELINO et al 2002;PEREIRA, 2007;MARCUS, 2012). Apesar de ser essencial para avaliar a gravidade da SAOS, não avalia os possíveis fatores anatômicos causais ou associados à presença da SAOS.…”
