METHODS: Single center chart review in a pediatric-only hospital-based sleep center.
RESULTS: Of the 342 children age 2 to 6 years old, 99.5% completed the study and 56% cooperated with the full hook-up; the nasal monitors were the least tolerated. Children who did not achieve a full hook-up slept 0.7 h fewer (p = 0.04), woke up more often (p = 0.015), and took 15 min longer to fall asleep (p = 0.012). Younger age and having autism were independent risk factors for poor tolerance.
CONCLUSIONS: The majority of pre-schoolers tolerated their first PSG. Interventional trials to increase PSG success in this population should prepare those under 3-years-old and with sensory processing issues to cooperate with nasal monitors.
方法:在仅儿科医院的睡眠中心进行单中心图表回顾。
结果:在342名2至6岁的儿童中,99.5%的人完成了研究,56%的人配合了完整的连接;鼻监护仪的耐受性最低。未达到完全连接的儿童睡眠时间减少0.7小时(p=0.04),醒来更频繁(p=0.015),需要15分钟才能入睡(p=0.012)。年龄较小和患有自闭症是耐受性差的独立危险因素。
结论:大多数学龄前儿童耐受他们的第一次PSG。在该人群中增加PSG成功率的介入试验应准备3岁以下且存在感官处理问题的患者与鼻监护仪合作。
