Explorer : de la prescription à l’interprétation : exploration du syndrome d’apnée du sommeil de l’enfant

Abstract

The supply and the demand for sleep recording in children are increasing. With no lower age limit, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome can be diagnosed in a lab run by a staff trained in conducting and interpreting children's sleep traces recorded with an adapted material. Whichever the criteria used to quote respiratory events, a relevant diagnosis is performed using both clinical presentation and results of sleep traces.
