Application Value of Open-mouth in Children with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrom
Objective To explore application value of open-mouth in children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrom. Methods Children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrom were taken by nasopharyngeal lateral side position and supine open-mouth position after barium swallow. We choose 37 cases with pure tonsil hypertrophy, measure the minimum distance of two tonsillars, and then compare with the corresponding apnea hypopnea index. Results The minimum distance of two tonsillars of mild AHI group was 4.31±1.27mm, moderate group was 2.92± 0.87mm, severe group was 1.51±0.49mm. The minimum distance of two tonsillars of 3 groups have obvious statistical significance(P <0.05). Conclusion There is correlation between severity of OSAHS and the minimum distance of two tonsillars, Open-mouth position has important value in assessing the severity of OSAHS.
