Titration Protocol for Upper Airway Stimulation in Pediatric Patients With Down Syndrome
In this study, a standardized UAS protocol for device titration during polysomnogram promoting acclimation and optimized AHI reduction demonstrated UAS efficacy in pediatric patients with Down syndrome. The protocol can be used as a model for other institutions creating programs for UAS titration in pediatric patients with Down syndrome. As more pediatric patients undergo UAS device implants, protocols can be refined to ensure optimal outcomes.
