   Sammanfattning : Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder often caused by  enlargement of the adenoid and the tonsils. The peak prevalence is among children who are two to six years of age, when the lymphatic tissue is  most active. Clinical diagnosis can be challenging, since the symptoms are often unspecific.

3. 2. Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea : evaluation of questionnaire and surgical treatment

   Författare :Anna Borgström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major pediatric health problem and is associated with potentially severe consequences if left untreated. Diagnosing OSA in children can be challenging since the clinical symptoms are very non-specific. LÄS MER

4. 3. Surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea : randomized controlled studies in children and adults

   Författare :Johan Fehrm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder in both children and adults. In adults, OSA is a major health concern because it is highly prevalent and increases the risk for hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and mortality. LÄS MER

5. 4. Clonidine in pediatric anesthesia : aspects on population pharmacokinetics, nasal administration and safety

   Författare :Peter Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Clonidine is widely use as premedication in pediatric patients and has many beneficial effects in the perioperative period. The introduction of population pharmacokinetics in the 1980s has proven useful when performing pharmacokinetic studies in children to circumvent previous limitations with traditional pharmacokinetics.

7. 5. Pharyngeal surgery and epidemiology in sleep apnea

   Författare :Karin Lundkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) occurs frequently among adults and children. The first-line treatments in adults are continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or mandibular retaining devices (MRDs), but the long-term efficacy is only around 60%. LÄS MER
