Paediatric obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) impacts ventilation and sleep. An interdisciplinary approach improves collaborative care and patient outcomes for children with OSA.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Sleep Medicine
- Respiratory Medicine
- Otolaryngology
Background:
- Paediatric obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common condition.
- It involves intermittent upper airway obstruction affecting breathing and sleep.
- OSA can have significant consequences for a child's health and development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a comprehensive review of paediatric obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
- To explore the pathophysiology, epidemiology, sequelae, and diagnostic methods for paediatric OSA.
- To highlight the evolving role of healthcare professionals in managing paediatric OSA.
Main Methods:
- Literature review utilizing electronic search.
- Analysis of current multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary care models.
- Focus on the collaboration between dental and medical professionals.
Main Results:
- Paediatric OSA requires a multidisciplinary approach involving various specialists.
- An interdisciplinary model, emphasizing collaborative decision-making, offers enhanced patient-centered care.
- Effective management necessitates integrated efforts from sleep physicians, pulmonologists, and ENT surgeons.
Conclusions:
- The shift from multidisciplinary to interdisciplinary care represents a significant advancement in managing paediatric OSA.
- Improved cooperation and shared decision-making among healthcare professionals enhance patient quality of life.
- Integrated care models are crucial for optimizing outcomes in children with OSA.
