Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) (American Thoracic Society) Disorder of breathing during sleep characterized by prolonged partial upper airway (Uaw) obstruction and/or intermittent complete obstruction (obstructive apneas) that disrupts normal ventilation during sleep and normal sleep patterns Sleep fragmentation Intermittent hypoxemia Intermittent hypercarbia
5
OSA: Epidemiology Prevalence of snoring: 7-12% Prevalence of OSA Infants: 1 - 2% Children: 2 - 4% Adults: Women 2 - 4% Men 3 - 7% Lean Obese Snoring 8 – 10%50% OSA2 – 3%36% OSA 60% (metabolic syndrome) Gender Prepubertal: M=F Post pubertal: M>F Peak incidence - 1.5 – 5 years (coincides with ATH) - Adolescence

24
Biomarkers of Pediatric OS A Helps with screening (urine, saliva, blood, exhaled breath) Early detection, cheap Bedside and can be done in clinic Follow up of response to medical or surgical intervention Potential biomarkers: Pediatrics: Combination of kallikrein-1, uromodulin, urocortin-3 and orosomucoid-1 appears to provide sufficient accuracy to be considered a potential OSA diagnostic test in children. Adults: IL- 6 and IL-10 appear to exhibit a favorable profile as biomarkers aiming to discriminate patients with and without OSA.
25
Treatment of OSA in children Life style changes Weight loss: Diet, exercise Positional Alcohol avoidance Pharmacological treatment Inhaled steroids Leukotriene antagonist High flow nasal cannula Oxygen Surgical treatment Adenoidectomy Tonsillectomy Supraglottoplasty Positive airway pressure therapy CPAP Bi-PAP
26
Pharmacological Treatment
27
Effect of Intranasal Budesonide on OSA Randomized double blind placebo controlled trial with the cross over design on children with mild OSA Kheirandish-Gozal et al, Pediatrics 2008 62 recruited, 48 completed Budesonide or Placebo 6 weeks on treatment 2 week washout 6 weeks other treatment
28
Anti-inflammatory therapy outcomes for mild OSA Retrospective analysis 2-14 years old 2007 – 2012 Mild OSA Combination ICS and oral montelukast x 12 weeks N = 3027, 836 fulfilled criteria, 752 received Rx Overall beneficial effect > 80% Normalization of PSG 62% (17% no change) Non responders: age > 7 years and obesity Kheirandish-Gozal Chest 2014
29
Adeno-tonsillectomy First line of therapy Recent data: 25-60% have residual OSA Discrepancy between tonsillar size & OSA severity No consensus AHI cut-off to perform T&A Adenoidectomy alone: 30% likely for 2 nd surgery within 3 yr 2 Complications: pain, bleeding and death 1.

Role of Bariatric Surgery in Adolescence Failed clinical treatment with multidisciplinary and adequate therapy Body Mass Index: BMI > 40 kg/m 2 with comorbidities (DM2, HTN, dyslipidemia) BMI > 50 kg/m 2 without comorbidities Good comprehension and cognition to follow all necessary procedures before and after surgery Not pregnant in year before surgery Good family support.
40
Bariatric surgery Most centers: Age >16 years Roux-en-Y gastric bypass & adjustable gastric ban Sleeve gastrostomy Kalra et al 2005 34 obese adolescents 19 patients had AHI > 5/hour 10 had repeat sleep study After significant weight loss (mean, 58 kg), OSA severity markedly decreased in all patients Baseline median AHI vs. after weight loss = 9.1 vs. 0.65 per hr
41
41 OSA is very common in children, but under recognized & under treated Carries many short & long term health risks, some of which are unique to children and may be irreversible Consider medical management for mild OSA Although A&T is effective, recent data shows increasing number of children with residual OSA despite surgery Consider referral to pediatric sleep specialist when indicated Take home messages
42
American Academy of Pediatrics: Guidelines for Pediatric OSA Screening of all children for snoring Specialty referral of complex high-risk patients Urgent evaluation of cardio-respiratory failure PSG as gold standard for diagnosis Adenotonsillectomy as first-line treatment Inpatient monitoring of high-risk patients Post-operative reevaluation to determine if additional treatment is required Pediatrics 2002;109:704
44
Childhood Parasomnias Undesirable events or experiences occurring: At entry into sleep Within sleep During arousal from sleep
45
Disorders of Arousal (from NREM sleep) Parasomnias Associated with REM Sleep Other Parasomnias Parasomnia Classification
46
Sleep Terrors Peak age: 5-7 years Prevalence rate of 2.0 - 6.5% Most will later sleepwalk Usual duration in children:- 4 years –50% end by age 8 –36% continue into adolescence
47
Sleep Terrors Begin abruptly from NREM sleep Episodes of agitation and apparent terror Heralded by a blood-curdling scream or cry Followed by confusion, agitation and autonomic disturbances Patient difficult to arouse If patient can be awakened, may describe: –Vague sense of terror –Isolated or fragmented dream imagery
48
Parasomnias Associated with REM Sleep Nightmares Sleep paralysis REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
49
Nightmares 75% of children experience nightmares 10 - 50% of children have nightmares severe enough to disturb their parents Proportion of children reporting nightmares reaches a peak around ages 6-10 years and decreases thereafter
50
Nightmares: Clinical Characteristics Usually during last half of night Complex dream mentation: - “Good dream gone bad” Emotional reaction more significant than autonomic response Fully alert upon awakening Responsive to comforting
51
Nightmares: Precipitating Factors Anxiety / Stress Personality – association with creativity Post-traumatic stress disorder
52
Nightmares: Treatment Explanation and reassurance Sleep hygiene Behavioral therapies
53
Nightmares vs Sleep Terrors REM sleep Most common parasomnia Second half of night Delayed return to sleep Easily comforted Detailed narrative description of episode Mild autonomic activity Alert upon awakening NREM sleep 2.0 - 6.5% prevalence First half of night Rapid return to sleep Resists comforting Fragmented recall / amnesia Intense autonomic activity Confusion on waking NightmaresSleep Terrors
54
Enuresis: Definition Persistent bedwetting more than twice a month past the age of five years Primary enuresis: Patient has never been dry on a regular basis Secondary enuresis: Patient becomes enuretic after being dry for at least six months
55
Enuresis: Declines with Age
56
Plasma Vasopressin (pg/ml) Enuresis: Theories
57
Enuresis: Other Theories Functionally small bladder capacity Dysfunctional detrusor activity Higher arousal threshold
58
Enuresis and Pediatric OSA Obstructive sleep apnea should be considered in the differential diagnosis of enuresis in children Frequent enuresis is more common in children with a higher apnea hypopnea index (AHI)
59
Enuresis: Evaluation History Developmental milestones Family history Physical / neurological exam Urinalysis Evaluation of urinary stream and bladder capacity
60
Enuresis: Behavioral Treatment Limit fluids / caffeine near bedtime Positive reinforcement Hypnosis and imagery Bladder stretching Sphincter training Scheduled wakings Urine alarms
61
Enuresis: Pharmacologic Rx DDAVP (Desmopressin) Effective in most patients Tablets and nasal spray Low frequency of side effects:- Concern for diabetes insipidus Hyponatremia Imipramine ECG abnormalities Possible behavior problems
63
Disorders of Arousal Arousals from NREM sleep First half of night, typically short duration Prolonged or multiple episodes may occur Confusion / automatic behavior Difficult to awaken during event Fragmented imagery Rapid return to sleep after event Amnesia of events
64
Disorders of Arousal Partial or complete arousal from sleep Abrupt Arousal
65
Confusional Arousals: Clinical Characteristics Occur on arousal from NREM sleep May not recognize parents May cry, yell, or moan Speech often unintelligible, sounds like words Most common words: “No, No!”
66
Sleepwalking: Clinical Characteristics Quiet wandering (injury unlikely) Agitated wandering (injury more likely) Behaviors of variable complexity Inappropriate behaviors Most sleepwalkers have few daytime effects
67
–60% of children have positive family history –10-fold increased prevalence in first-degree relatives of an affected individual Disorders of Arousal: Familial Basis
68
Disorders of Arousal: Evaluation Video-PSG needed if: –Spells have atypical features –Spells are stereotyped –Patients describe potentially injurious behavior or have injured themselves or others PSG needed if OSA is suspected
69
Disorders of Arousal: Treatment Allow episodes to run their course: Interfere only to prevent injury May try to lead the patient calmly to bed Emphasize sleep hygiene Secure the bedroom to prevent injury: Consider ground floor bedrooms Window and door locks, pad bedrails Remove sharp objects or toys on bedroom floor Alarms or barriers at door/stairs Medications may be necessary in severe cases
70
Pediatric RLS An urge to move legs, caused by discomfort as described in child’s own words Begins or worsens during periods of inactivity Partially or totally relieved by movement Worse in the evening or night Biological parent / sibling with definite RLS Periodic limb movements of five or more per hour of sleep on PSG
71
Pediatric RLS: Clinical Features Attention sought for “growing pains” These present as: Sleep onset problems Sleep maintenance problems Daytime irritability and attention problems may occur, likely due to sleep deprivation Family history is positive for RLS Iron deficiency may play a role as in adults
72
Pediatric RLS: Prevalence “Night-Walkers” Survey 138 adults with RLS (mean age 60 years) 18% reported symptoms began before age 10 years 25% reported symptoms began before age 20 years Childhood RLS case reports Walters AS. Neurology 1996;46:92
73
Pediatric RLS: Treatment Strict sleep hygiene is necessary to avoid sleep deprivation Limiting setting often required (day and at bedtime) Treatment of iron deficiency Medications: Clonazepam 0.25 to 1.0 mg qHS
75
Insomnia Complaint of: Difficulty initiating sleep (bedtime resistance) Maintaining sleep (inability to sleep independently) Daytime impairment: Inattention, mood disturbance Problems with memory and concentration Impaired performance (at school in children)
76
Behavioral Insomnia of Childhood Symptoms meet criteria of insomnia Pattern consistent with either: Sleep-onset association type Limit-setting type
77
Behavioral Insomnia of Childhood Evaluation History Precise description of the problem Parent response and interaction with child Typical night, not extremes Careful description of bedtime routines, including naps Evaluate the 24-hour schedule (weekday, weekend, vacation)
78
Behavioral Insomnia of Childhood: Sleep-onset Association Type Child begins to associate sleep onset with circumstances that are problematic and demanding of the caregiver. Child is unable to fall asleep without these associations either at initial sleep onset or during nocturnal awakenings.
79
Treatments for Sleep-onset Association Type Education Awakenings during the night are normal Sleep onset associations are learned Sleep onset associations are present at all ages New sleep onset associations can be taught Behavioral treatment Place child in crib/bed awake and leave room If child is upset, return to comfort Do not pick up the child; comfort verbally Stay in room briefly, leave before child sleeps Increase time between responses Same routine for awakenings and naps
80
Treatments for Sleep-onset Association Type Usual response between three to five nights If symptoms persist, consider: –Instructions not followed –Co-existing problems –Error in diagnosis –More time needed –Modifying the technique Modified techniques: –Eliminate associations in stages –Parents present longer –Limit physical contact –Gradually withdraw
81
Behavioral Insomnia of Childhood: Limit-setting Type Refusal to go to bed at an appropriate time or following a nighttime awakening Insufficient or inappropriate limit setting demonstrated by the caregiver
82
“Mommy …” I’m hot. I’m cold. I’m scared. I’m not sleepy. I’m thirsty. My tummy hurts. I hear something. I have to go to the bathroom. Fix my blanket. I need to be tucked in again. “Daddy, I need…” A drink. One more kiss. One more hug. The light on. The light off. To tell you something A band-aid. My mommy. You to cover me up. You to rub my back. A tissue. Some medicine Behavioral Insomnia of Childhood Limit-setting Type: Favorite Delay Tactics
83
Bedtime refusals, stalling and repeated demands May also occur at naptime and nighttime awakenings May be straightforward or complex Behavioral Insomnia of Childhood: Limit-setting Type
84
Emphasize the importance of limit-setting Teach general limit-setting guidelines (day as well as night) Specific and individualized techniques (gate, progressive door closure) Positive reinforcement (star chart) Treatment of Limit-setting Type
