In recent years, due to the increase of air pollution and other reasons, there have been more and more upper respiratory tract infections in children, resulting in more and more snoring in children caused by adenoid hypertrophy in the tonsils. In addition to tonsillar adenoids, tonsil hypertrophy and obesity, some rare syndromes such as down syndrome, mucopolysaccharide syndrome, craniofacial deformities, sickle cell disease and neuromuscular diseases can also cause snoring in children. Sleep apnea monitoring is currently the gold standard for the diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome in children.
Sleep breathing monitoring has the following benefits:
1.Distinguish whether children’s snoring is caused by obstruction or neuromuscular, so as to take different measures for different reasons.
2.Determine the severity of snoring in children, take different treatment measures before and after surgery, minimize postoperative respiratory suffocation for severe children, and reduce unnecessary postoperative treatment for mild children. For children who are not suitable for immediate surgery, positive pressure ventilation should be used to improve the respiratory status and quality of life of children.
3.The comparison of sleep monitoring before and after surgery can clarify the degree of improvement of the child. If the child still has hypoxia after surgery, further measures should be taken to better improve the sleep condition of the child.
Plus1Health has a sleep recorder, which can monitor heart rate, breathing rate, body movement, turning over, getting out of bed, etc. in real time. It can also perform early screening for sleep apnea to prevent disease risks.
