TRANSCUTANEOUS MEASUREMENTS OF GASES IN CHILDREN WITH CHRONIC UPPER-AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION

In 65 children aged 1·6-15 years with symptoms of chronic upper-airway obstruction transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions were monitored continuously during sleep. 36 children (55%) had hypercapnia, and 16 (24%) of these children also had hypoxia. It is likely that hypoxia during sleep du...

Zusammenfassung:In 65 children aged 1·6-15 years with symptoms of chronic upper-airway obstruction transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions were monitored continuously during sleep. 36 children (55%) had hypercapnia, and 16 (24%) of these children also had hypoxia. It is likely that hypoxia during sleep due to chronic upper-airway obstruction is much more common than pulmonary hypertension, which is a rare complication.
