儿童阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征治疗的研究进展

Overview on treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in children

儿童阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome,OSAHS)是指因部分或全部上气道阻塞引起的通气障碍,可扰乱儿童正常呼吸和睡眠,影响儿童生长发育,甚至导致错颌畸形的疾病,是当前耳鼻咽喉及正畸科研究的热点问题。目前对于儿童OSAHS的治疗方式多样,以正畸治疗和手术治疗较为常见,而正畸与手术等多学科的联合治疗当下愈发突显地位。本文将对目前儿童OSAHS的多种治疗方法及其适应证的研究进展作一综述,并重点介绍儿童OSAHS的正畸治疗方法及该领域的研究现况。

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)is a hot topic in otorhinolaryngology and orthodontics.OSAHS is a ventilatory disorder characterized by recurrent narrowing or collapse of upper airway,which can disturb children's normal breathing during sleep and sleep patterns.Pediatric OSAHS affects children's growth and development,and may lead to malocclusions.At present,the treatment methods of OSAHS in children varies,orthodontic treatment and surgical treatment become the most common ones,and the multidisciplinary combination treatment is appreciated by clinicians increasingly.This article will review the research progress of various treatment methods and their indications of pediatric OSAHS,and the orthodontic treatment of OSAHS in children and the current research status in this field will be mainly introduced.
