Paediatric Obstructive Sleep Disordered Breathing: Cardiovascular Changes After Adenotonsillectomy
Adenotonsillectomy in children with ATH and clinical OSDB may lead to significant variations in resting heart rate and estimated cardiac output after surgery. This suggests a potential reduction in resting sympathetic activity following the resolution of upper airway obstruction, with a possible contribution of age-related factors to the observed cardiovascular responses to adenotonsillectomy.
