Video-respiratory Polygraphy in Children
The diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in children (OSAS) requires a polysomnography (PSG) in a sleep lab with video surveillance and monitoring by a nurse. But PSG is a cumbersome exam, sometimes difficult to perform in children. Simplified exams as respiratory polygraphy (RP) which uses only respiratory signals can be used for the diagnosis of OSAS but studies show that it underestimates the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) because the total sleep time cannot be accurately estimated. The use of a video camera with software synchronous with the RP software could compensate for this disadvantage, by estimating when the child is sleeping or not.
