Obstructive sleep apnea in infancy: evaluation and management
2023, Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in ChildrenPediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Update for the Primary Care Provider
2022, Pediatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Although it may be common to equate snoring with deep sleep, snoring is a sign of turbulent airflow causing the soft tissues to vibrate. However, even primary snoring, or snoring with the exclusion of OSA, has been associated with adverse neurocognitive consequences.14,15 Other nocturnal signs and symptoms to note are mouth breathing, gasping, choking, and observed pauses in breathing.
Cognitive and behavioral effects of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children: a systematic literature review
2018, Sleep MedicineCitation Excerpt :Another explanation for the effects of OSA on cognition and behavior is that OSA disrupts sleep, as meta-analytic studies show that shorter sleep time is associated with children's behavioral problems [20] and poor academic performance [21]. Nonsystematic reviews of the OSA pathophysiology literature also showed that children with the syndrome presented more agitation, aggressiveness, and hyperactivity, lower scores on cognitive and academic tests [22], as well as impaired attention, intelligence, memory, learning, and behavior problems [23]. Nenetheless, a systematic review of management of childhood OSA by Marcus et al. [3] noted a low level of evidence for relations between OSA and cognitive/behavioral problems, suggesting that previous studies in this field should be revised given their methodological limitations.
