Sleep disordered breathing or “sleep apnea” occurs when the upper airway closes and airflow to the lung stops for at least 10 seconds. The most common form of sleep apnea is called obstructive sleep apnea with ~2-4% of children suffering from obstructive sleep apnea.
Population studies show that 10-20% of children have at least soft snoring. When kids have snoring and ADHD behaviors (poor attention, hyperactivity, learning difficulties), obstructive sleep apnea should be considered as a potential cause. Kids do not have the same clinical features as adults who are suspected to have sleep apnea. Many kids with sleep apnea are not obese and do not have sleepiness, thus it is critical for the physician to recognize this condition early by obtaining a polysomnogram (sleep study).
The first line treatment for children with obstructive sleep apnea is surgical removal of the tonsils and adenoids and is likely to be curative. Most kids who are diagnosed with OSA will not need CPAP after surgery is performed.
Central sleep apnea is a condition that is more common at higher altitudes. ~25% of people at altitudes above 2500m develop this condition characterized by frequent pauses in breathing, insomnia, and poor sleep quality. At altitudes above 3000m, almost everyone develops this condition. Denver, by comparison sits at just above 1609m. Treatment may include supplemental low flow oxygen or the use of a breathing device such as “CPAP”.
