 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 3 Polysomnography in children with OSAHS and snoring in the application of Author: Lin Jian Lin Ruijie Xiao-Hong Cai Chang-chong [Keywords:] Obstructive sleep apnea Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (obstructivesleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, OSAHS), is the collapse of the upper airway during sleep apnea caused by obstruction and hypoventilation, accompanied by snoring and sleep architecture disorders, frequent blood oxygen saturation decreased daytime sleepiness and other symptoms [1]. This disease can occur at any age, children, the incidence is 1% ~ 3%. The polysomnography (polysomnography, PSG) is a diagnosis of OSAHS the ‘gold standard’. The authors monitored 82 cases of patients with PSG sleep data be analyzed to explore the clinical OSAHS children, characteristics and PSG sleep apnea in children the clinical value of OSAHS. 1 Data and methods 1.1 General Information From July 2006 to January 2007, hospital admissions in parallel laboratory sleep monitoring 82 cases of children, male 58 cases, female 24 cases; aged 3 to 12 years old. Have a night snoring, mouth breathing, restless sleep and other symptoms, course of disease from 3 months to 7 years. PSG provides OSAHS were divided into groups according to 55 cases, simple snoring group (PS) 27 Li. 1.2 Methods Using Respironics Alice 5 Sleep Apnea’s monitor. For all children throughout the night PSG monitoring, monitoring time for at least 7h. Include: (1) children with general information, monitoring time; (2) sleep structure analysis, such as the percentage of total sleep time, wake times, sleep duration and percentage of all; (3) apnea and hypopnea analysis, including the longest breath pause time (LAT), apnea frequency, low-frequency ventilation; (4) Automatic extraction and classification of respiratory events; (5) oxygen saturation analysis, including the distribution of oxygen saturation and time. Diagnostic criteria: OSAHS is sleep for more than 10 s nose and
