Abstract

Background: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy isan important cause of upper-airwayobstruction and sleep-disordered breathingin children. Nocturnal oxygen desaturationmay accompany obstructive events duringsleep. This study evaluated nocturnal oxygen saturation before and afteradenotonsillectomy in children withadenotonsillar hypertrophy
