Pediatric Sleep Apnea

About Pediatric Sleep ApneaPediatric OSA typically differs from adult OSA in several ways. Young children often only have short apneas or episodes of partial upper airway obstruction that lead to frequent arousals from sleep. Habitual snoring, mouth breathing, restless sleep, bed-wetting, feeling unrefreshed upon awakening, daytime inattentiveness, mood swings, and hyperactivity are common symptoms of pediatric OSA.

Pediatric OSA is often due to enlarged adenoids or tonsils, though other conditions, such as muscle weakness, obesity and craniofacial abnormalities, can also put a child at risk. Read more about risk factors of pediatric sleep apnea.
