Background: Children with sleep apnea are at increased risk for adverse respiratory events following surgical procedures involving the airway such as tonsillectomy. Risk following sedation for non-invasive procedures is unclear. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for overnight desaturation events (ODE) in patients with sleep apnea admitted after sedated magnetic resonance […]

However, little is known about the impact of treated versus untreated OSA on short-term outcomes in patients hospitalized with acute illness. We propose that the recurrent hypopnea and apnea […]
