Week 5- Sleep disorders in children Flashcards

1
Q

Why is sleep important?

A

it is an acitve process invovled in learning and memory, growth and repair, and immune fucntion

adults spend 1/3 of their life asleep and kids 1/2

Q

Physiological effects of sleep

A
  • lowered BP by 10-20mmHg
  • lowered HR
  • lowered CO
  • lowered sympathetic activity
  • increased parasympathetic activity
  • decreased muscle tone( including airway muscles)

A

trouble falling asleep or staying asleep

conditions like…

  • sleep disordered brething
  • insomnia

things like…

Q

major cause of sleep-disordered breathing in children?

A

adenotonsillar hypertrophy

enlarged tonsils and adenoids decrease muscle tone and cause occlusion in the airways.

this causes either (more common) partial obstruction or complete obstruction

Q

Features that may increase OSA likelihood in children

A
  • snoring or noisy breahting suring sleep present for 3 or more nights a week
  • increased effort of breathing whilse asleep
  • choking/gasping/snoring noises observed by parents following apnea
  • frequent daytime mouth breathing
  • pectus excavatum
    • “funnel chest”
    • rare but seen with more severe OSA

Q

predisposing factors of down syndrome for OSA?

A
  • macroglossia
    • large tongue leads to increased occlusion
  • midfacial hypoplasia
    • mid face grows slower
  • overweight
    • there is an association of OSA with increased weight
  • poor muscle tone

Q

OSA in down syndrome kids vs non syndromic

A

OSA prevalence is up to 75% in syndromic gorup

syndromic group demonstrates worse gas exchange and also they seem to have more CVD complications because of the CVD stress occurring in OSA

Q

Prader-Willi and SDB

A

SDB thought to be caused by mix of hypotonia and craniofacial dysmorphism

OSA has been diagnosed in 44% of PWS kids who were referred for sleep before starting GH therapy

Q

Growth hormone treatment in PWS

A

PWS kids have decreased grwoth hormone so it was being supplemented to improve growth and body compostion

it was found that resp disorders have been implicated as a cause of death in this group with sudden death being seen during sleep. Hypothesized that growth hormone lead to increased lymphoid tissue which potentially caused a fatal event

Q

How do we measure severity of SDB?

A

Severity is measured according to the OAHI(obstructive apnoea hypopnoea index)

16
Q

prevalence of OSA and primary snoring in a paediatric population

A

prevalence: Osa=1-5%, primary snoring=8-27%

17
Q

when is peak incidence of SDB

A

between 3-6yrs as this is when the tonsils and adenoids are the largest

18
Q

does obesity increase the risk of OSA in kids

A

yes it does, OSA affects up to 50% of overweight and obese children

19
Q

The challenges in measuring burden of disease and diagnosis

A
  1. clinical hisotry alone is a poor diagnsoitic took as it has low accuracy (very variable) in predicting OSA in kids
  2. the gold standard sleep studies are expensive and there si only limited avail. it is also not well tolerated in many children
  3. many kids who have strong history of enlarged tonsils with no other comorbidities often get assessed by ENT so we are missing alot of kids in SDB meausrement who go straight to ENT
20
Q

screening tools for OSA

A

Paedetiric sleep questionaires and pulse overnight oximetry

21
Q

Consequences of SDB

A

can cause behav problems, neurocog deficits, CV consequences( hypoxia/arousals–>increased BP and increased symp activation

22
Q

In adults OSA has been assocuated with..

A

hypertension, increased risk of MI and 4x risk of stroke, arrhythmias, renal disease

increased BP in children is also associated with increased BP in adults

23
Q

Behvaioural issues and SDB

A

Increased frequency of hyperactivity and externalizing behaviours( aggression, oppositionality, irritability)

24
Q

Neurocog consequences and SDB

A

differences in IQ seen with SDB

25
Q

CV complication seen in SDB

A
26
Q

SDB and blood pressure

A
27
Q

How do we treat SDB in adults?

A

weight loss, CPAP

28
Q

How do we treat SDB in children

A
29
Q

what happens to children with SDB?

A
30
Q

Adenotonsillectomy in treatment efficacy

A
31
Q

Does treatment reverse SDB reverse CV sequelae

A
