Resumen
AMEZQUITA-TRUJILLO, Álvaro y GARZON, Juan Federico. Considerations in pediatric patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS): From physiopathology to the perioperative period. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2017, vol.45, n.3, pp.173-181. ISSN 0120-3347.
Introduction:
OSAHS is a respiratory disorder with perioperative complications, which increase morbidity and mortality. The characteristics of the pediatric population require a careful perioperative assessment.
Objective:
This article addresses relevant physiopathology, clinical and paraclinical topics, perioperative treatment and care of pediatric patients with OSAHS.
Materials and methods:
A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Embase databases using the MeSH terms: sleep apnea syndromes, obstructive sleep apnea, physiopathology, perioperative period, and perioperative care. The titles and/or the abstracts of each of the obtained results were reviewed and 60 articles were finally selected.
Results and conclusion:
The knowledge of the physiopathology, the adequate preanesthetic assessment and the pertinent request of paraclinical care, allows for the adjustment of the perioperative care and to improve the results of the patient.
