About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Sleep apnea has become exceedingly recognized in children. The primary treatment for sleep apnea in children is surgery in the form of adenotonsillectomy. The majority of children that undergo adenotonsillectomy are discharged following their immediate recovery in the post anesthesia care unit.
The group in the trial
- Adenotonsillectomy patients
Patients having undergone adenotonsillectomy at Texas Children's Hospital admitted for overnight observation based on our institutional protocol will be enrolled. A Wrist OX 3150 (Nonin Medical) will be placed in PACU with saturations recorded until the following morning after the surgery. The patient will undergo pulse oximetry monitoring separately based on the hospital protocol that will be used to guide care. Data from the Wrist Ox will not be avail to the treatment team and will only be analyzed for research purposes.
Treatment: Continuous Pulse Oximetry
