Abstract

Children with medical complexity have a high prevalence of sleep disorders. However, outpatient polysomnography to evaluate for these conditions may be difficult to perform because of lack of skilled nursing care. The aim of this study was to explore polysomnography indications in hospitalized children and assess its impact on patient care. Data from 85 inpatient polysomnographies of 70 children hospitalized between March and December 2014 were retrospectively collected. Sixty percent of patients were boys with ages 6.5 ± 6 years. Chronic respiratory failure was present in 33.8%, airway obstruction due to defects of the tracheobronchial tree or craniofacial abnormalities in 54.3%, neurological complications of the perinatal period in 22.9%, genetic syndromes and neurodegenerative disorders in 31.4%, congenital myopathies in 5.7%, metabolic diseases in 4.3% and congenital cyanotic heart defects in 4.3%. Indications for polysomnography included assessment of chronic pulmonary disease (60%), ventilator requirements (41.2%), apnea/desaturation (23.5%), and acute life-threatening events (1.2%). Abnormal results were found in 89.4%. The observed diagnosis was obstructive sleep apnea in 64.7%, signs of chronic lung disease in 34.1%, h...Continue Reading
