Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical value of low temperature plasma ablation in the treatment of children with snoring. Methods A total of 178 children with snoring who were treated in Henan Children’s Hospital from January 2018 to December 2018 were selected. And they were divided into two groups according to the operation plans, with 89 children in each group. Children in the control group were treated by tonsillectomy and endoscopic adenoid scraping, while children in the observation group were treated by low temperature plasma tonsillectomy and endoscopic adenoid ablation. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared. Results The total effective rate was 95.51%(85/89) in the observation group, and 80.90% (72/89)in the control group, moreover, the difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss and pain score of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The OSA-18 quality of life score and apnea-hypopnea index after treatment in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Low temperature plasma ablation for children with snoring can improve the clinical symptoms, ventilation and respiratory status of children, and improve the quality of life of children.
