Overview

This clinical trial will compare the diagnostic accuracy of type II HSAT with PSG for determining OSA status following treatment with adenotonsillectomy in children

Description

Many children have residual obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) following adenotonsillectomy, but in-lab polysomnography (PSG), the recommended means of re-evaluating these patients, is resource-intensive and availability is limited. Home sleep apnea testing (HSAT), a similar test performed in the patient's home and used clinically in adults, may offer an alternative means of evaluating the effect of OSA treatment in children and make testing more convenient and widely available.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male and female children age 5-12 years old inclusive
  • History of adenotonsillectomy for OSA

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Children with a history of hypoventilation or hypoxemia or who require supplemental oxygen or positive airway pressure during sleep
  • Children with a tracheostomy or tracheocutaneous fistula
  • Children who live in a facility without their parent
