ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Adenotonsillectomy is the most common indication for sleep-disordered breathing in children. Measuring pharyngeal closing pressures in anaesthetised children allows identification of severe obstructive sleep apnoea. This technique could help quantify immediate surgical impact and risk stratify postoperative treatment in these patients.
