Area of Science:

Pediatrics
Sleep Medicine
Neurology

Background:

Sleep-disordered breathing in infants impacts nervous system development.
Early identification and understanding of polysomnography are crucial.
Limited research exists on polysomnography in neonatal and infant periods.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the utility of polysomnography in infants during their first year of life.
To emphasize the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of polysomnography in this age group.

Main Methods:

A narrative review of polysomnography applications in infants.
Searched PubMed (Jan 2015-Jan 2025) using keywords: "polysomnography", "obstructive sleep apnea", "infant".
Included 90 out of 1200 reviewed publications.

Main Results:

Polysomnography aids in diagnosing sleep disorders in infants.
It assists in qualifying infants for surgical interventions.
The study identified 90 relevant publications from 1200 reviewed.

Conclusions:

Polysomnography is essential for diagnosis and treatment planning in infants.
It supports multidisciplinary management, improving patient prognosis.
Its role in evaluating treatment effectiveness, both non-invasive and invasive, is significant.
