ABSTRACT

Catatrenia (gemido nocturno) es una condición rara caracterizada por sonidos irregulares que ocurren durante el sueño. Los comportamientos ocurren intermitentemente durante cualquiera de las dos etapas de sueño, REM o NREM y se caracterizan por gemidos prolongados, a menudo muy fuertes, socialmente perturbadores, durante la expiración. Es poco conocido y espera más definición y estudios terapéuticos. Hay pocos reportes y en su mayoría de pacientes adultos. Se presentan 3 casos en pacientes pediátricos.


Catathrenia (nocturnal groaning) is a rare condition characterized by irregular sounds that occur during sleep. The behaviors occur intermittently during either REM or NREM sleep and are characterized by prolonged, often very loud, socially disruptive groaning sounds during expiration. It is poorly understood and awaits further definition and therapeutic studies. There are few reports mostly adult patients are presented below 3 cases in pediatric patients.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo del estudio: evaluar si la puntuación de Mallampati modificada (MMS) puede predecir la presencia y la gravedad del síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño (AOS) en un grupo de pacientes que roncaban y presentaban apnea en los hospitales universitarios de Al-Azhar, El Cairo, Egipto y el Hospital Almoosa, Alhasa, Arabia Saudita. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de pacientes que roncaban y presentaron apnea remitidos a un laboratorio del sueño para el diagnóstico de AOS mediante polisomnograma completo durante la noche desde enero de 2017 a noviembre de 2020. Se utilizó el índice de apnea-hipopnea (IAH) para categorizar la gravedad apnea del sueño. Se registraron edad, sexo, SMM, índice de masa corporal (IMC), comorbilidades, sueño y parámetros de laboratorio. Además, se registraron exámenes completos de Otorrinolaringología, Neurología y Medicina Interna. Resultados: El estudio se realizó en 350 pacientes que cumplían los criterios de inclusión con una edad media de 51,3 ± 14,3 años con un rango de 14 a 81 años. Más de la mitad de ellos (58,6%) eran hombres, el IMC medio fue de 35,1 ± 8,8 kg / m2 y el MMS medio fue de 4,7 ± 1,6 con aproximadamente el 65% de los pacientes agrupados en clases III y IV. Se diagnosticó AOS (IAH> 5) en 278 (79,4%) pacientes. Significativamente, la AOS se detectó más entre los hombres, aquellos con mayor edad, IMC, MMS y aquellos con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2). Una evaluación adicional mostró una correlación positiva significativa entre el IMC y el MMS con la gravedad de la AOS (ρ = 0,23, P <0,001 y ρ = 0,36, P <0,001) respectivamente. Conclusión: MMS es una herramienta útil para predecir la presencia y la gravedad de la AOS en pacientes que roncan. El IMC y el sexo masculino son predictores independientes


Aim of the study: To assess if the modified Mallampati score (MMS) can predict the presence and the severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) in a group of patients who had snoring and witnessed apnea from Al -Azhar university hospitals, Cairo, Egypt, and Almoosa Hospital, Alhasa, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A retrospective study was done for patients who had snoring and witnessed apnea referred to a sleep lab for the diagnosis of OSA by overnight full polysomnogram from January 2017 to November 2020. Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was used to categorize the severity of sleep apnea. Age, sex, MMS, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities, sleep and laboratory parameters were recorded. Also, full Otorhinolaryngological, Neurological and Internal medicine examinations were recorded. Results: The study was carried out on 350 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria with a mean age 51.3 ± 14.3 years ranging from 14 to 81 years. More than half of them (58.6%) were males, the mean BMI was 35.1 ± 8.8 kg/m2 and the mean MMS was 4.7 ± 1.6 with about 65% of patients grouped in classes III and IV. OSA (AHI>5) was diagnosed in 278 (79.4%) patients. Significantly, OSA was more detected among males, those with increased age, BMI, MMS, and those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Further evaluation showed a significant positive correlation between both BMI and MMS with the severity of OSA (ρ =0.23, P<0.001 and ρ =0.36, P<0.001) respectively. Conclusion: MMS is a useful tool to predict the presence as well as the severity of OSA in snoring patients. BMI and male gender are independent predictors

ABSTRACT

Sleep apnea (SA) detection method based on traditional machine learning needs a lot of efforts in feature engineering and classifier design. We constructed a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) model, which consists in four convolution layers, four pooling layers, two full connection layers and one classification layer. The automatic feature extraction and classification were realized by the structure of the proposed CNN model. The model was verified by the whole night single-channel sleep electrocardiogram (ECG) signals of 70 subjects from the Apnea-ECG dataset. Our results showed that the accuracy of per-segment SA detection was ranged from 80.1% to 88.0%, using the input signals of single-channel ECG signal, RR interval (RRI) sequence, R peak sequence and RRI sequence + R peak sequence respectively. These results indicated that the proposed CNN model was effective and can automatically extract and classify features from the original single-channel ECG signal or its derived signal RRI and R peak sequence. When the input signals were RRI sequence + R peak sequence, the CNN model achieved the best performance. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of per-segment SA detection were 88.0%, 85.1% and 89.9%, respectively. And the accuracy of per-recording SA diagnosis was 100%. These findings indicated that the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy and robustness of SA detection and outperform the methods reported in recent years. The proposed CNN model can be applied to portable screening diagnosis equipment for SA with remote server.

ABSTRACT

El diagnóstico de apneas en lactantes menores de tres meses constituye un gran desafío y es un área en pleno desarrollo. Es por esto, que diferentes especialistas en sueño, pertenecientes a dos Sociedades Científicas de Chile: la Comisión de Sueño, de la Sociedad Chilena de Neumología Pediátrica (SOCHINEP) y el Grupo de Trabajo Trastornos del Sueño en Pediatría de la Sociedad de Psiquiatría y Neurología de la Infancia y Adolescencia (SOPNIA), se han puesto de acuerdo en proponer un consenso básico sobre los parámetros de sueño y del manejo de las apneas en los menores de 3 meses de vida. El objetivo, es que podamos contribuir al manejo de estos pacientes, con un lenguaje y manejo similar, y valores de referencia apropiados para ese grupo etario, respaldado con las últimas investigaciones al respecto.


Sleep apnea diagnosis in infants younger than 3 months has been a major challenge for modern medicine. Using current literature, experts from the Chilean Society of Pediatric Pulmonology Sleep Commission, and the Chilean Society of Psychiatry and Neurology for Children and Adolescents, have produced a national state-of-the-art consensus. The main goal of this statement is to unify our language in this matter, based on the latest evidence.

Objetivo: Eva luar la relación entre la composición corporal y la presencia de TRS en escolares. Sujetos y Méto do: Estudio observacional analítico de corte transversal en 127 escolares de primero a octavo básico escogidos aleatoriamente de cinco establecimientos municipales de Valdivia, Chile. La incorporación al estudio ocurrió luego del proceso de consentimiento informado del responsable del escolar y asentimiento informado del menor. Se realizaron mediciones antropométricas y se determinó la presencia de TRS mediante el Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ). Para el análisis se aplicó esta dística descriptiva, t de Student y test x2 para determinar asociación de variables con la presencia de TRS. Resultados: Destacó alta prevalencia de malnutrición por exceso (71,7%) y la obesidad alcanzó 39,4%. En tanto la prevalencia de TRS fue 32,3%. Hubo mayor proporción de niños con TRS en escolares obesos severos (56,3%), así como una media significativamente mayor en niños con TRS para los pliegues bicipital (14,6 mm ± 7,3 vs. 12,0 mm ± 6,6; p=0,002) y tricipital (19,8 ± 6,7 mm vs. 16,2 mm ± 6,0; p =0,04). Conclusiones: Existen altas prevalencias de malnutrición por exceso y TRS. De las medidas antropométricas, la presencia de TRS se asoció con mayor grosor de los plie gues bicipital y tricipital.


Abstract: Introduction: Overnutrition in childhood constitutes a global epidemic and has been associated with multiple di seases and complications. Among them, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) stands out, a spectrum of diseases that have emerged as a relevant health problem. Objective: To evaluate the association bet ween nutritional status and SDB in schoolchildren. Subjects and Method: Cross-sectional analytical study of 127 schoolchildren randomly selected from five public schools in Valdivia, Chile. After the informed assent and informed consent process of the child and parents/guardian respectively, the students were incorporated into the study. Anthropometric measurements were performed and the presence of SDB was determined through the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ). For the data analysis, the t-test and x2 test were used to determine the association of variables with SDB. Re sults: There was a high prevalence of overnutrition (71.7%) and obesity reached 39.4%. Regarding the prevalence of SDB, it was 32.3%. There was a higher proportion of children with SDB in severely obese schoolchildren (56.3%), as well as, a significantly higher mean of biceps and triceps skinfold thickness in children with SDB (14.6 mm ± 7.3 vs. 12.0 mm ± 6.6, p = 0.002, and 19.8 ± 6.7 mm vs. 16.2 mm ± 6.0, p = 0.04, respectively). Conclusions: There is high prevalence of overnutrition and SDB. Out of the anthropometric measurements, the presence of SDB was associated with greater thickness of the biceps and triceps skinfolds.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To translate the Sleep Apnea Clinical Score (SACS) into Brazilian Portuguese and adapt it to the cultural setting, validating it for use as a screening method for polysomnography and as a tool to quantify the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in individuals in Brazil. Methods: The translation was performed by two professionals, with subsequent synthesis of the translations. From that version, a back-translation was prepared, revised, and compared with the original by a team of experts. As a pre-test, a consensus version was applied in 20 patients randomly selected from among those under treatment at outpatient clinics at the Piquet Carneiro Polyclinic of the State University of Rio de Janeiro, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, to assess their understanding of the questions. In the validation phase, the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the SACS was applied in 86 patients who subsequently underwent polysomnography, regardless of the SACS result. Results: The analyses of the pre-test phase showed that the SACS was easily understood by the patients. In the validation phase, the SACS showed a sensitivity of 45.3% (95% CI: 32.8-58.2%), a specificity of 90.9% (95% CI: 70.8-98.9%), a positive predictive value of 93.5% (95% CI: 79.0-98.2%), a negative predictive value of 36.4% (95% CI: 30.6-42.5%), and an accuracy of 57.0% (95% CI: 45.8-67.6%). Conclusions: The Brazilian-Portuguese version of the SACS can be used in order to assess the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

INTRODUCCIÓN: El diagnóstico precoz de los Trastornos Respiratorios del Sueño (TRS) puede permitir una intervención oportuna. La poligrafía (PG) es una alternativa confiable y accesible en la actualidad. OBJETIVO: Describir y analizar PG de niños > 1 año con sospecha de TRS. PACIENTES Y MÉTODO: Se incluyeron PG de niños y adolescentes > 1 año de edad con sospecha de TRS, desde diciembre de 2011 hasta agosto de 2017 provenientes de la ciudad de Concepcion, Chile. Se recopilaron datos demo gráficos, clínicos y variables poligráficas. Estadística descriptiva, expresando resultados en mediana y rango. Se determinó asociación entre índice de apnea hipopnea (IAH) y saturación mediante Rho de Spearman; considerando significancia p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Se analizaron 190 estudios. Edad 7,9 años (1,0-20,6), varones 61%. Diagnósticos: enfermedades neuromusculares (ENM) (24,2%), daño pulmonar crónico (21,1%), obstrucción de vía aérea superior (OVAS) (19,5%), daño neurológico (11%), síndrome de Down (8,9%) malformaciones VAS (7,4%), hipoventilación central (3,7%), obesidad (2,6%) y otros (1,6%). El 55,3% de las PG resultaron alteradas; síndrome de apnea hipopnea obstructiva del sueño (SAHOS) leve en 53,3%, moderado 30,5% y severo 16,2%. No se observaron diferencias significativas en IAH entre grupos de patologías (p = 0,032), destacando un mayor IAH en Obesidad 9,0 (0,41-51) y ENM 23,9 (0,4-36,6). Se constató asociación entre IAH y parámetros de saturación; saturación promedio (rho = -0,425; p = 0,001); mínima (rho = -0,654; p = 0,001); y saturación bajo 90% (rho = 0,323; p = 0,001) en la totalidad de la muestra. DISCUSIÓN: Existió un alto porcentaje de SAHOS en pacientes pediátricos de riesgo, en especial en aquellos con ENM y obesidad. La PG es una herramienta accesible e implementable en un hospital público; situación potencialmente extrapolable a otros centros asistenciales.


INTRODUCTION: The early diagnosis of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) may allow proper intervention. Currently, polygraphy (PG) is a reliable and accessible alternative. OBJECTIVE: To describe and analyze the PG of children > 1 year old with suspicion of SDB. PATIENTS AND METHOD: PG of children > 1 year old and adolescents from Concepcion, Chile, with suspected SDB were included, from December 2011 to August 2017. Demographic, clinical and polygraphic variables were collected. It was used descriptive sta tistics, expressing results in median and range. The association between apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen saturation was determined by Spearman's Rho, considering significance of p < 0.05. RESULTS: 190 studies were analyzed. Age 7.9 years old (1.0-20.6), 61% males. Diagnosis: neuromuscular disease (NMD) (24.2%), chronic lung damage (21.1%), upper airway obstruction (UAO) (19.5%), neurological damage (11%), Down syndrome (8.9%), upper airway malformations (7.4%), central hypoventilation (3.7%), obesity (2.6%), and others (1.6%). 55.3% were altered PG, with 53.3% of mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS), 30.5% moderate, and 16.2% severe. There were no significant differences in AHI between groups of pathologies (p = 0.032), highlighting a higher AHI in obese patients 9 (0.41-51), and those with NMD 23.9 (0.4-36.6). It was found asso ciation between AHI and oxygen saturation parameters: mean saturation (rho = -0.425; p = 0.001), minimum (rho = -0.654; p = 0.001), and oxygen saturation below 90% (rho = 0.323; p = 0.001) in the whole sample. DISCUSSION: There was a high percentage of OSAHS in at-risk pediatric patients, especially in those with NMD and obesity. PG is an accessible and implementable tool in a public hospital, a situation that can potentially be extrapolated to other healthcare centers.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To analyze the correlation between palatal depth and duration of the upper airway obstruction since diagnosis among children with habitual mouth breathing. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted using the consecutive sampling method on boys and girls who were habitual mouth breathers and presented with allergic rhinitis, adenoid hypertrophy, obstructive sleep apnea, rhinosinusitis, and nasal polyp. Information about the duration of upper airway obstruction was obtained from the medical records of the patients. The patients divided into two groups: those diagnosed with upper airway obstruction for < 4 years, and those diagnosed with upper airway obstruction for > 4 years. Hard palate measurements were obtained from upper arch study models using a caliper with a precision of ± 0,1 mm Results: A strong positive correlation was noted between the duration of the upper airway obstruction since diagnosis and palatal depth in children (r=0.623; p<0.05). Furthermore, the depth of the palates was found to be greater than 40 mm when the duration of upper airway obstruction since diagnosis was more than four years Conclusion: The finding of this study indicates that upper airway obstruction can result in high palates in children with habitual mouth breathing.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El síndrome de apnea hipoapnea del sueño (SAHS), está asociado fuertemente a la obesidad. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar las variaciones en el índice de masa corporal (IMC) en pacientes portadores de SAHS luego de un año de tratamiento con CPAP. Resultados: 104 pacientes varones fueron incluidos en este estudio, las variables analizadas fueron: índice de apnea-hipopnea (IAH), índice de masa corporal (IMC) y cuestionario de somnolencia diurna Epworth. Respecto a los datos obtenidos de IMC, se encontró tras un año de tratamiento con CPAP un descenso significativo de esta variable (p < 0,001). En la escala de somnolencia también se obtuvo un descenso significativo. Discusión: La evidencia ha sugerido regularmente que a mayor peso corporal existirían también niveles más elevados de IAH, las mejoras en el IMC referidas en este estudio, resaltan la importancia del correcto tratamiento no solo en el control de los eventos respiratorios, sino que en la disminución del peso corporal.


Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) it is highly related to obesity. The main purpose of this study is to determine the variation between Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) and Body Mass Index (BMI) on sleep apnea patients after a year of CPAP treatment on the Linde Sleep Center. Results: 104 male patients were included in this study, the variables analyzed were; AHI, BMI, Epworth daytime somnolence. As for the data obtained from BMI, after one year of treatment with CPAP, the BMI showed a significant decrease (p < 0.001). In the daytime sleepiness scale, a significant decrease was also found between pre and post treatment values. Discussion: Evidence has consistently suggested that higher body weight would also have higher levels of AHI, and the improvements in BMI referred to in this study emphasize the importance of proper treatment not only in control of respiratory events, but in the reduction of body weight.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o tratamento com o uso de aparelhos intra- orais para a síndrome de apneia e hipopnéia obstrutiva do sono e relatar o caso de um paciente portador da síndrome em estágio moderado. O presente caso clínico trata-se de um paciente de 37 anos de idade, portador de síndrome de apneia e hipopneia obstrutiva do sono (SAHOS) moderada, diagnosticada por um exame de polissonografia, que se apresentou com os seguintes sintomas: sonolência e cansaço diurno, possuía apneias durante o sono, além de reportar que sofria de bruxismo e ronco, segundo ele, tudo referido por sua cônjuge. A modalidade de tratamento utilizada foi o aparelho intrabucal, do tipo protrusor mandibular, o qual é um tratamento não invasivo indicado a princípio nos casos de ronco primário e nessa síndrome de grau leve e moderado. O tratamento realizado foi eficaz na melhora da sintomatologia, desobstruindo a passagem de ar nas vias aéreas superiores, permitindo melhor ventilação do paciente e controlando os efeitos colaterais e secundários da síndrome. Os resultados da polissonografia com a utilização do aparelho intra-oral, foi alvo de discussão relatada neste trabalho(AU)


The objective of this study was to analyze the treatment with the use of intra-oral devices for sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome Obstructive sleep and report the case of a patient with the syndrome in the moderate stage. The present case it is of a white, 37-year-old boy with an apnea-hypopnea syndrome moderate obstructive sleep, who presented with the following symptoms: sleepiness and daytime tiredness, had sleep apneas, and informed us that suffered from bruxism and snoring. The treatment modality used was the intraoral appliance, which is a non-invasive treatment used for this syndrome of mild to moderate. Final Thoughts: The treatment was effective in improving symptoms, clearing the air passage in the upper airway, allowing better ventilation of the patient and controlling side effects and secondary syndrome. However polissonografy results was object of discussion in the paper(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivos: Determinar la frecuencia de riesgo del Síndrome de Apnea Obstructiva del Sueño (SAOS) en pacientes atendidos en el consultorio externo de neumología de un hospital de referencia en Lima a través de los Cuestionarios de Berlín, Sleep Apnea Clinical Score (SACS) y la escala de Epworth. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal en pacientes atendidos en los consultorios externos de neumología reclutando durante el período de enero a marzo de 2014 en forma prospectiva a aquellos pacientes que referían presentar ronquido habitual. Se determinó la frecuencia de riesgo de SAOS de acuerdo a cada una de las escalas evaluadas y sus factores asociados. Resultados: Se estudiaron 230 sujetos, 56,5% eran varones y el 43,5% mujeres, con una edad media de 50 ± 12 años. El 61,8%, 66,9% y 62,6% tenían riesgo moderado o alto para SAOS de acuerdo a las escalas de Epworth, SACS y Berlin respectivamente. El perímetro de cuello, circunferencia abdominal e índice de masa corporal fueron las características asociadas de manera más consistente con el riesgo de SAOS. La correlación entre las escalas de SACS y Berlin fue de 0,55, entre las escalas SACS y Epworth de 0,22 y entre Berlín y Epworth de 0,35 (p < 0,001 para todas las comparaciones). Conclusiones: El riesgo de SAOS y somnolencia diurna es elevado en pacientes roncadores atendidos en la consulta externa de neumología. Las escalas evaluadas presentan una correlación menor que lo esperada. Se requieren estudios a mayor escala y en población general que comparen el valor diagnóstico y pronóstico de estas escalas utilizando la polisomnografía como estándar de referencia.


Objectives: To determine the frequency of risk for the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) through clinical predictors: Berlin Questionnaire, Sleep Apnea Clinical Score (SACS) and the degree of daytime sleepiness measured by Epworth scale. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients who reported snoring seen by pulmonology in the outpatient clinic between January and March 2014. Frequency of OSA was calculated according to the three clinical prediction rules. We also determine the characteristic associated with a high risk of OSA according to each prediction rule. Results: We recruited 230 participants, 56.5% were male, with a mean age of 50 ± 12 years. The risk of moderate or high risk for OSA was 61.8%, 66.9% and 62.6% according to Epworth somnolence scale, SACS and Berlin questionnaire, respectively. Neck circumference, abdominal circumference and body mass index were the characteristics more consistently associated with OSA risk. Correlation between SACS and Berlin prediction rules was 0.55, between SACS and Epworth scale was 0.22 and between Berlin and Epworth scale was 0.35 (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). Conclusions: There is a high risk for OSA among snoring patients attending respiratory outpatient clinic. The correlation between prediction rules evaluated was lower than expected. Larger studies in general populations using polysomnography as a reference standard are needed to clarify the diagnostic and prognostic value of OSA prediction rules.

ABSTRACT

Contexte & objectif. Le syndrome d'apnées du sommeil est une pathologie fréquemment sous diagnostiquée et souvent méconnue; particulièrement à cause d'une accessibilité insuffisante au gold-standard du diagnostic, la polysomnographie ou la polygraphie ventilatoire. Et pourtant, l'affection est responsable des complications surtout cardiovasculaires majeures. L'objectif de la présente étude était d'évaluer le niveau de performance de l'oxymétrie nocturne dans le diagnostic du syndrome d'apnées du sommeil. Méthodes. Enquête transversale menée entre le 1er janvier 2016 et le 30 septembre 2017. Tous les patients hospitalisés pour suspicion du syndrome d'apnées du sommeil ont bénéficié d'une oxymétrie nocturne et d'une polygraphie ventilatoire. Les logiciels Excel 2010 et SSPSS 21.0 ont permis d'analyser les données. Nous avons déterminé la sensibilité, la spécificité, la valeur prédictive positive et la valeur prédictive négative. La courbe ROC a été calculée. p < 0,05. Résultats. Au total 201 patients d'âge moyen de 64,6±11,8 ans, avec une prédominance masculine (55%) et en majorité obèses (IMC moyen de 32kg/m²) ont été inclus. La sensibilité et la spécificité de l'oxymétrie nocturne sont respectivement de 87 et de 85% avec une courbe ROC montrant une surface importante sous la courbe de 0,75. Conclusion. Avec sa sensibilité et spécificité élevées, l'oxymétrie nocturne peut constituer une alternative valable au diagnostic du syndrome d'apnées du sommeil. Son innocuité et sa bonne acceptabilité en font un outil facilement exportable et recommandable en cas de carence de moyens appropriés

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: La Saturometría Nocturna Continua (SpChC), es utilizada en Unidades de Neonato logia para detección de eventos de hipoxemia en Recién Nacidos (RN) con episodios de apneas. La Poligrafía (PG) presenta un número mayor de canales de medición. El objetivo fue evaluar el rendi miento diagnóstico de la SpOhC respecto a la Poligrafía en RN con sospecha de apneas. Pacientes y Método: Se analizaron retrospectivamente resultados de SpOhC y PG realizadas en forma simultáneas en RN con sospecha de apneas, en un periodo de tres años. Se utilizó un saturómetro Masimo Radi-cal-7® con 2 canales y un polígrafo Apnea Link Plus® con 5 canales de registro simultáneos. Se con sideró PG alterada: índice de desaturaciones bajo 80% por hora > a 1 y/o número de desaturaciones bajo 80% > 20 segundos mayor a uno en todo el registro validado y/o índice de apnea hipoapnea > a 1 evento por hora. Paralelamente, se definió SpOhC alterada cuando uno o ambos de los criterios de saturometria bajo 80%, estaban alterados. Se calcularon valores de sensibilidad, especificidad, valores predictivos y Likelihood Ratio (LLR) para la SpÜ2C. Los resultados se expresaron en valor absoluto, con 95% de intervalo de confianza. Resultados: Se realizaron 40 SpÜ2C y PG simultáneos; un 80% (32/40) de ellos fueron RN prematuros, 60% (24/40) varones. Un 38% (15/40) de las SpOhC y un 15% (6/40) de las PG resultaron alteradas (p < 0,05). La SpÜ2C presenta una Sensibilidad 100%, Especificidad 74%, El VPP 40%, VPN 100%, LLR + 3,78 y LLR-0. Conclusión: En los RN estudiados, la SpC2C posee un alto valor diagnóstico, sin embargo, puede presentar falsos positivos; por lo cual se sugiere utilizar como método de tamizaje y realizar confirmación diagnóstica con otro examen de sueño, como la PG.


Abstract Introduction: Night Continuous Saturometry (CSO2) is used in Neonatal Units to detect events of hypoxemia in Newborns (NB) with apnea episodes. Polygraphy (PG) has a larger number of measuring channels. Our goal was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of CSO2 compared to Polygra phy in NB with suspected sleep apneas. Patients and Method: Results of CSO2 and PG performed simultaneously in RN with suspected apneas were retrospectively analyzed over a three-year period. A 2-channel Masimo Radical-7® pulse oximeter and an Apnea Link Plus® polygraph with 5 simulta neous recording channels were used. Altered PG was defined as: desaturation index under 80% per hour > 1 and/or number of desaturations under 80% > 20 seconds greater than one in the whole va lidated registry and/or hypoapnea apnea index > 1 event per hour. In parallel, altered SpO2C was de fined when one or both of the 80% saturation criteria were altered. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and Likelihood Ratio (LLR) for CSO2 were calculated. Results were expressed in absolute value, with 95% confidence interval. Results: Simultaneous 40 CSO2 and PG were performed; 80% (32/40) of them were preterm infants, 60% (24/40) males. 38% (15/40) of the CSO2 and 15% (6/40) of the PGs were altered (p < 0.05). CSO2 has a 100% Sensitivity, 74% Specificity, 40% VPP, 100% VPN, LLR + 3.78 and LLR-0. Conclusion: In the studied NB, CSO2 has a high diagnostic value, however, it may present false positives; It is suggested to use as a screening method and to perform diagnostic confirmation with another sleep test, such as PG.

ABSTRACT

El síndrome de apnea-hipoapnea del sueño en niños es una patología de alta prevalencia en la población infantil. Afecta entre el 2-4 por ciento de los niños de edades entre 2 a 6 años. La comorbilidad asociada determina serias consecuencias fisiológicas entre las que se encuentran: alteraciones cardiovasculares, neuroconductuales, neurocognitivas y anomalías en elcrecimiento. Las alteraciones bucocraneofaciales y de la oclusión asociadas a este síndrome son significativas. El rol del odontólogo /odontopediatra/ortodoncista es importante para realizar un diagnóstico y un tratamiento precoz de la oclusión e integrarse al equipo de salud. En este artículo pretendemos participar a los colegas odontólogos, odontopediatras y ortodoncistas deuna visión actualizada de la apnea infantil.

ABSTRACT

Las amígdalas linguales (AL) forman parte del Anillo de Waldeyer (AW). La hipertrofia de amígdala lingual (HAL) se debe habitualmente a hiperplasia, generalmente asintomática. Su etiología no está precisada, pero se reconoce como causa de Apnea Obstructiva del Sueño (AOS) residual, posterior a adenoamigdalectomía (AA). Su identificación en el examen físico es dificultosa, por lo que resulta relevante la sospecha, junto con una nasofibroscopía. Según condiciones y sintomatología del paciente se puede complementar el estudio con otras técnicas diagnósticas, como polisomnograma (PSG) y resonancia magnética (RM). La cirugía es exitosa para el tratamiento de estos casos. Dentro de las complicaciones descritas para este procedimiento destacan: hemorragia, obstrucción de la vía área, dificultad en la intubación orotraqueal y dolor en el posoperatorio. Actualmente no existe una técnica quirúrgica de elección. Debido a la morbilidad asociada a AOS resulta fundamental el diagnóstico de esta patología, ya que es susceptible de tratamiento.


Lingual tonsils are part of Waldeyer`s Ring. The hypertrophy of the lingual tonsils is generally due to hiperplasia, without symptoms. The etiology is not clear, but it is a known cause of residual Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), after adenotonsilectomy. Their identification during the physical exam results dificult, so the suspicious and the nasofibroscopy are relevant. Acording to the particular patient it is posible realize additional exams, like polisomnography and magnetic nuclear resonance. Surgery is succesful for this cases. The complications include: bleeding, airway obstruction, anestesia dificulties and pain. Currently there is not a particular techniqe of choice. OSA is associated to morbidity, therefore it is fundamental to diagnose this pathology, because it is posible to treat it through surgery.

ABSTRACT

Se cree que los ancianos necesitan dormir menos. Sin embargo, no es la necesidad de sueño sino la capacidad de dormir lo que disminuye con la edad, en paralelo a la mayor prevalencia de enfermedades cardiovasculares o metabólicas, o de depresión. Poco se ha descripto sobre los hallazgos polisomnográficos de esta población. En el presente estudio analizamos los hallazgos polisomnográficos en pacientes mayores de 65 años. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo a partir del análisis de una base de datos de 551 pacientes mayores de 65 años evaluados entre junio de 2013 y diciembre de 2014. Todos los sujetos se realizaron una polisomnografía (PSG) nocturna de 6 horas de duración. Las variables analizadas fueron: latencia de sueño (LS), eficacia de sueño (ES), latencia de fase REM (Lat R), % de R, índice de apneas hipopneas (IHA) y movimientos periódicos de piernas durante el sueño (PLMS). Se dividió la población en 3 grupos: G1: de 65 a 70 años; G2: 71 a 75; G3: mayor de 75 años. Se analizaron los datos de la serie general y las diferencias intergrupos. El IHA se incrementó con la edad y resultó más severo en los pacientes mayores de 75 años en relación con el grupo de menor edad. El incremento del IAH no se asoció a un incremento del índice de masa corporal ni a mayor somnolencia diurna. (AU)


It is believed that the elderly need less sleep. However, it is not the need for sleep but the ability to sleep that decreases with age, in parallel to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular or metabolic disease, or depression. Little has been described about the polysomnographic findings of this population, hypothesizing that there are several alterations that prematurely corrected could improve the quality of life as the years go by. We analyzed the polysomnographic findings in patients over 65 years of age. A descriptive study was carried out based on the analyses of a database of 551 patients over 65 years of age evaluated between June 2013 to December 2014. All subjects underwent nocturnal PSG of 6 hours duration. The polysomnographic variables analyzed were: sleep latency (LS), sleep efficiency (ES), latency R phase (Lat R), % R, Apneas Hypoapneas Index (AHI) and Periodic Limb Movements of Sleep (PLMS). The population was divided into 3 groups: G1: from 65 to 70 years G2: 71 to 75, G3 greater than 75. AHI increased with age, being more severe in patients over 75 years of age in relation to the younger age group. The increase in AHI was not associated with an increase in Body Mass Index (BMI) or greater daytime sleepiness. (AU)

ABSTRACT

La apnea y eventos aparentemente letales poseen una gran diversidad etiológica por tanto exámenes complementarios podrían contribuir a su diagnóstico. El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir los resultados de estudios poligráficos de niños menores de 3 meses hospitalizados con sospecha de apnea. PACIENTES Y MÉTODO: Serie retrospectiva de casos. Se consideraron niños menores de 3 meses con sospecha de apnea y en quienes se realizó una poligrafía (PG) durante su hospitalización. Se registraron datos generales, así como también, el índice de apnea/hipopnea (IAH), índice de apnea central, índice de apnea obstructiva, saturación promedio y mínima. Como criterios de trastornos respiratorios del sueño (TRS) fueron considerados: índice de desaturaciones (ID) por debajo de 80% mayor 1 por hora; uno o más eventos de desaturaciones por debajo de 80% por más de 20 segundos; o un IAH mayor o igual 1. Se realizó estadística descriptiva y se determinó la posible asociación entre el IAH y parámetros de saturación. RESULTADOS: Ingresaron 51 pacientes, 32 varones. 8 (15,6%) presento PG alteradas, de ellos, en 5 coexistió más de un criterio diagnóstico. En el 15,6% se observó un IAH mayor o igual a 1, en el 7,8% se observó un índice de desaturación bajo 80% y en el 11,8% un índice de desaturación bajo 80% por más de 20 segundos. El IAH se asoció con los parámetros de saturación. CONCLUSIÓN: La mayoría de los pacientes presentó PG normales y entre los pacientes con TRS predominó un patrón poligráfico sugerente de inmadurez respiratoria, lo cual, es característico de esta edad.


Apnea and apparently lethal events have great etiological diversity thus complementary tests may help diagnosis. The aim of this study was to describe the results of polygraph studies of children under 3 months hospitalized with suspected apnea. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective case series. Children under 3 months with suspected apnea were considered and in whom a polygraphy (PG) was performed during hospitalization. General data, the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI), index of central. apnea, obstructive apnea index, average and minimum saturation were recorded. Desaturation index (ID) below 80% higher 1 per hour, one or more events of desaturation below 80% for more than 20 seconds or an AHI greater than or equal 1 were considered as criteria of sleep disorder breathing (SLB). Descriptive analysis was performed and the associations between AHI and saturation parameters were determined. RESULTS: 51 patients, 32 males, entered the study. 15,6% had altered PG. In 5 of them coexisted more than one diagnostic criterion. Iin 15,6% of the patients was observed an IAH greater 1, in 7.8% a desaturation index below 80% and in 11,8% a desaturation index under 80% for 20 seconds greater than 1. The AHI was associated with the parameters of saturation. CONCLUSION: Most of the patients had normal PG and among patients with a suggestive SLB a pattern of respiratory immaturity prevailed, which is characteristic of this age.

ABSTRACT

Sleeep disorder breathing (SDB) in chilhood includes a broad spectrum of disease ranging from primary snoring to more severe forms of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. They may be associated with alterations different than those seen in adults, e.g., children present a low percentage of daytime sleepiness. Nevertheless, they present great difficulties in their learning, and failure in memory and attention and reports of behavior of aggressiveness. We analyze in the present review the cognitive and behavioral deficits asscoaited with the RDS and the main tests that are made for its study


Los trastornos respíratorios del sueño (TRS) en la infancia incluyen un amplio espectro que comprende desde el ronquido primario hasta las formas más graves de síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño (SAOS). Los niños presentan sintomatología asociada distinta a los adultos, como un bajo porcentaje de sonmolencia diurna. No obstante refieren dificultades en su aprendizaje, fallas en memoria, atención y cambios en su hiperactividad y agresividad. Se analizan los déficit cognitivos y conductuales asociados a los TRSy las principales pruebas neuropsicológicas o test que se realizan para su estudio

ABSTRACT

The presence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in pediatric population has been associated with several and relevant health problems. Unfortunatly, most of SDB cases remain under diagnosed due to diferent factors incluiding lack of available and good diagnostic tools. Sleep questionnaires have emerged as an alternative screening tool for SDB. Depending on specific measurement purpose, sleep questionnaires may assess different aspects that are related to SDB or sleep duration and quality. Among these questionnaires, the "Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire" (PSQ) is a validated diagnostic tool for SDB worldwide. in Chile, PSQ's diagnostic accuracy was evaluated in 83 children between 0 and 15 years old, showing an area under curve (AUC) 0.687 (CI 95 percent 0.567-0.808), a sensibility 0.78 and specificity 0.72. Based on information described in this review, utlization of sleep screening questionnaire is feasible, leading to an alternative tool to detect SDB in our national clinical context and during research process in sleep medicine


La presencia de trastornos respiratorios del sueño (TRS) en la població pediátrica ha sido asociada a múltiples e importantes problemas de salud. Desafortunadamente, gran parte de los TRS continúan siendo subdiagnosticados debido a diferentes factores tales como reducida disponibilidad para la realización de exámenes de referencia en la población o limitadas herramientas diagnósticas. Intentando superar estas barreras, la utilización de cuestionarios como herramienta diagnóstica emerge como una alternativa de tamizaje para la detección de lso TRS. Dependiendo de los parámetros a evaluar, se pueden encontrar cuestionarios quw valoran aspectos relacionados a los TRS o bien parámetros específicos del sueño como su duración o calidad. En la actualidad el cuestionario "Pediatric sleep Questionnaire" (PSQ) constituye una de las herramientas validadas para la detección de TRS a nivel mundial. En Chile, la exactitud diagnóstica del PSQ fue evaluada en 83 niños entre 0 y 15 años, observando un área bajo la curva (AUC) de 0.687 (IC95 percent 0.567-0.808), una sensibilidad de 0.78 y una especificidad de 0.72. Basado en la información presentada en este trabajo, la apliación de cuestionarios de tamizaje, específicamente el PSQ es factible en la población pediátrica, constituyendo una alternativa para la detección de los TRS en el contexto clínico nacional y durante el proceso de investigación en medicina del sueño
