Pulse transit time respiratory swing as a diagnostic test for obstructive sleep apnoea in children—An observational study Open
Background Pulse transit time (PTT) has been identified as a potentially useful tool for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) due to its high sensitivity in detecting cortical arousals. However, its use in clinical practise has been d…
British Thoracic Society guideline for diagnosing and monitoring paediatric sleep-disordered breathing Open
Please note that sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children without comorbidities is related to snoring and upper airway obstruction and commonly referred to as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). ### Diagnosing sleep-disordered breathing in…
Observational Study of Pulse Transit Time in Children With Sleep Disordered Breathing Open
Background: Pulse transit time (PTT) is a non-invasive measure of arousals and respiratory effort for which we aim to identify threshold values that detect sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in children. We also compare the sensitivity and s…
β<sub>2</sub>-agonists do not work in children under 2 years of age: myth or maxim? Open
Wheezy infants do not respond to bronchodilators despite evidence of functioning β-adrenoceptors. This is because the predominant aetiology, bronchiolitis, is characterised by small airway oedema and increased mucus, for which β2-agonists …
