Résumé
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by snoring, recurrent obstruction (apneas) of the upper airway which disrupts normal ventilation during sleep. In the last decade, there has been a increase in children diagnosed with persistent, severe OSA attributed to (1) the obesity epidemic as 25-60% of obese children will have obesity related OSA (2) advances in medical technology that have increased life expectancy of medically complex children (3) improved diagnostics and (4) increased awareness. Positive airway pressure (PAP) is commonly used to treat persistent, severe OSA. PAP devices deliver pressurized air via nasal or oronasal interfaces to distend the upper airway and ameliorate OSA. Although effective in treating OSA, PAP adherence is suboptimal. This review article provides an overview of (1) PAP use in pediatric OSA (2) PAP devices (3) PAP adherence, (4) strategies and interventions to improve adherence and (5) Optimizing PAP delivery during pediatric to adult transition.
