Obstructive sleep apnoea in children research: Laryngo-tracheo-bronchoscopy

Ms Aikaterini Dritsoula guides us through obstructive sleep apnoea in children research, focusing on laryngo-tracheo-bronchoscopy. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is the disruption of normal ventilation and sleep patterns due to upper airway obstruction. The primary recommended therapy in children over two years of age is adenotonsillectomy, which is the procedure of removing the enlarged tonsils and adenoids, causing blockage at the level where they anatomically reside.
