    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Sleep Medicine
    • Pediatric Respiratory Medicine

    Background:

    • Sleep-disordered breathing and airway issues are prevalent and significant health concerns.
    • Conditions discussed include obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux with nocturnal aspiration, spasmodic croup, nocturnal asthma, and hypoxemia in chronic lung disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss common and important sleep-associated airway problems.
    • To offer guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and synthesis of current knowledge on sleep-associated airway disorders.
    • Development of diagnostic and treatment recommendations based on available evidence.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed discussion of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
    • Exploration of gastroesophageal reflux and nocturnal aspiration during sleep.
    • Overview of spasmodic croup and nocturnal asthma management.
    • Consideration of sleep hypoxemia in patients with chronic lung disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of sleep-associated airway problems can be challenging.
    • Guidelines are provided to aid clinicians in managing these complex conditions.
    • Addressing these sleep-related respiratory issues is crucial for patient well-being.
