Diagnostik und Therapie der obstruktiven Schlafapnoe im Säuglingsalter am Beispiel der Robin-Sequenz

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

Säuglinge haben aufgrund ihrer besonderen Anatomie eine Prädisposition für ein obstruktives Schlafapnoe-Syndrom (OSAS). Prävalenzzahlen sind allerdings kaum bekannt. Klinisch präsentiert sich ein OSAS in dieser Altersgruppe äußerst variabel. Bei Verdachtsmomenten für das Vorliegen eines OSAS ist daher eine Schlaflaboruntersuchung unerlässlich. Therapeutisch gibt es neben der Möglichkeit einer nächtlichen atemunterstützenden Therapie bei Säuglingen mit Robin-Sequenz die Option, ein spezielles Therapieverfahren aus Spornplatte, Logopädie und Trinktraining einzusetzen.

ABSTRACT

Infants are predisposed to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) due to their unique anatomy. However, prevalence data are scarce and clinical presentation of OSAS is highly variable in this age group. Therefore, in case of clinical suspicion for OSAS, a sleep study is essential. Therapeutically, in addition to providing nocturnal respiratory support for infants with Robin sequence, there is the unique option of using individualized protocol consisting of a spur plate, myofunctional therapy and feeding training.
