Özet
Obstructive sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a common problem in children and includes many clinical conditions with variable severity of intermittent airway obstruction such as primary snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS), obstructive hypoventilation, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) (obstructive, central, and mixed). Primary snoring is described by snoring over three nights a week, without oxyhemoglobin desaturation or sleep fragmentation. UARS is characterized by snoring with frequent sleep fragmentation and increased respiratory effort with upper airway resistance, in the absence of recognizable oxyhemoglobin desaturation. OSAS is characterized by persistent episodes of upper airway obstruction with oxyhemoglobin desaturation disruption and normal sleep pattern. Obstructive hypoventilation is considered as elevated end-expiratory carbon dioxide partial pressure without noticeable obstructive events [1–5]. Definition of obstructive hypoventilation is comprised in International Classification of Sleep Disorders [4], but American Thoracic Society [5] evaluated it within the definition of OSAS.
