《儿科学》(Pediatrics)8同年27日出版的American儿科协才会(AAP)新版针灸疗法读物要求，行增殖腺扁桃体畸形的持续性气管气管无限期综合征(OSAS)脑瘤应就医(Pediatrics 2012;130:576-84)。新版读物是由AAP的OSAS秘书处对1999~2008年出版的3166篇相关文章及2008~2011年出版的读物类文章同步进行综述后订立的。新版读物的部份重要要求如下：·对于轻度OSAS老年人病症，特别是不适于做手术或已做手术且残留持续性气管无限期的病症，鼻内激素给药可有助于消除病因。·要求针灸医生可常规同步进行OSAS筛查。可向老年人母亲质问几个问题。一是：孩子气管如何？二是：有打鼾现象吗？如有，则继续质问打鼾时是否伴有气管困难。根据经验和阿兹海默，可对老年人同步进行气管安全检查等进一步客观评估。·要求此表脑瘤在扁桃体畸形后就医：3岁此表；多导气管上图安全检查提示重度OSAS；OSAS瓣膜肾衰竭；发育持续；肥胖；颅面畸形、脑部肌肉营养不良或当前气管道感染。·如果扁桃体畸形后OSAS恶性肿瘤和病因持续普遍存在，或如果未同步进行扁桃体畸形，则要求同步进行持续气道正压通气(CPAP)疗法。该小组研究专家对此，CPAP是最佳的三线疗法方案。·如果老年人或青少年往往打鼾或符合OSAS病因和恶性肿瘤，则要求同步进行多导气管上图安全检查或移至气管专科或耳鼻喉科疗法。不过该要求未获得秘书处研究专家和要求医学协才会的恰当认可，因为基本的医疗人力资源无法对每例脑瘤都积极开展此项安全检查。而且研究显示，在50%的但才会，即使阿兹海默提示OSAS，气管安全检查结果仍可能为正常。因此，一个这样一来的要求是，如果无法同步进行多导气管上图安全检查，可考虑同步进行其他诊疗性安全检查，如夜间视频录制、夜间腹水饱和度精确测量、午睡多导气管上图安全检查或门诊多导气管上图安全检查。该小组研究专家发表声明与Philips Respironics等多家新公司普遍存在共同利益关系。By: DOUG BRUNK, Clinical Neurology News Digital NetworkAn updated clinical practice guideline from the American Academy of Pediatrics spells out which children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome who undergo adenotonsillectomy should be admitted as inpatients."That’s really important because the vast majority of children he adenotonsillectomy on an outpatient basis," said Dr. Carole L. Marcus, who chaired a subcommittee that assembled the guideline, which was updated from a 2002 version and published online Aug. 27 in Pediatrics.Courtesy Dr. Carole L. MarcusAnother new component of the 10-page guideline, titled "Diagnosis and Management of Childhood Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome," includes an option for clinicians to prescribe intranasal steroids for a subset of children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS)."For children with mild obstructive sleep apnea – especially for those in whom surgery might be contraindicated, or in those who he already had surgery and he some residual obstructive apnea – intranasal steroids could be helpful," Dr. Marcus, who directs the Sleep Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, said in an interview. "There are still a lot of unanswered questions [about this practice], one of the biggest being that all of the studies he been relatively short term, meaning weeks to months, not years. Does a child need just one course, or do they need to be on it for the rest of their lives? Those are studies that need to be done."To update the 2002 guideline, Dr. Marcus and 11 other members of the interdisciplinary AAP Subcommittee on Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome reviewed 3,166 articles from the medical literature related to the diagnosis and management of OSAS in children and adolescents that were published during 1999-2008. Then subcommittee members "selectively updated this literature search for articles published from 2008 to 2011 specific to guideline categories." Of the 3,166 studies, 350 were used to formulate eight recommendations, termed "key action statements" (Pediatrics 2012;130:576-84).Since publication of the previous guideline, "there has been a huge amount of research done in this field," noted Dr. Marcus, who is also a professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. "Many of the initial studies we looked at for the first guideline were case series. Now people are doing well-structured studies and looking at some of the detailed outcomes such as neurocognitive findings."The first recommendation in the updated guideline advises clinicians to screen for OSAS during routine health maintenance visits, "because OSA in children is underdiagnosed," Dr. Marcus explained. "Parents don’t necessarily think of snoring as a sign of a serious disease. They might think it’s funny, but it’s actually a sign of illness."Knowing how busy pediatricians are, there are two questions that are crucial," she continued. "One is, ‘How does your child sleep?’ The other is, ‘Does your child snore?’ If you get a positive [response] to the snoring [question] you do need to go into more detail. The next question would be, ‘Is there labored breathing with the snoring?’ Your history will tell you which children need further objective evaluation, such as a sleep study."The guideline also recommends that the following subset of children be admitted as inpatients after tonsillectomy: those younger than age 3; those with severe OSAS on polysomnography; those with cardiac complications of OSAS; those with failure to thrive; those who are obese; and those with craniofacial anomalies, neuromuscular disorders, or a current respiratory infection.Another component to the guideline is the recommendation that clinicians refer patients for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) management if OSAS signs and symptoms persist after adenotonsillectomy or if adenotonsillectomy is not performed. Dr. Marcus described CPAP as "the best way to go as a second-line option. Since the previous guidelines came out, the prevalence of obesity in children has gone up even more dramatically. Therefore, there is a lot more OSA out there, and pediatricians will be seeing a lot more in children of all ages."One component of the guideline related to polysomnography proved difficult for the committee members and the consulting medical societies to reach consensus on. This recommendation states that clinicians should obtain a polysomnogram or refer the patient to a sleep specialist or otolaryngologist if the child or adolescent snores regularly or meets the symptoms and signs of OSAS."If one agrees that sleep studies are the only objective way to tell what’s going on, we just don’t he the resources in this country to study every child," Dr. Marcus said. "The literature is very strong showing that a history and physical exam could give you an idea of which children you should he an index of suspicion about, but do not tell you which children he sleep apnea. The vast number of children who he adenotonsillectomy for suspected OSA are hing it done without any sort of objective finding. The studies that he been done show that about 50% of the time, even with a history that seems indicative of OSA, the children will he normal sleep studies."Because of this quandary, the committee included a related recommendation, which reads that if polysomnography is not ailable, "then clinicians may order alternative diagnostic tests, such as nocturnal video recording, nocturnal oximetry, daytime nap polysomnography, or ambulatory polysomnography."Dr. Marcus said that further changes to the new guideline may be warranted pending the results of the Childhood Adenotonsillectomy Study for Children With OSAS (CHAT). Sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the goal of this multicenter, randomized trial is to determine the effect of adenotonsillectomy surgery on OSAS in children. "That study has just been completed, but nothing has been published yet," said Dr. Marcus, who is one of CHAT’s investigators. "That might change things even more."There is a 44-page technical report that details the procedures the subcommittee members followed and the data they considered (Pediatrics 2012;130:e714-55).Dr. Marcus disclosed that she has received research support from Philips Respironics. Another subcommittee member, Dr. Did Gozal, disclosed hing research support from AstraZeneca and being a speaker for Merck.; Dr. Ann C. Halbower disclosed receiving research funding from Resmed; and Dr. Michael S. Schechter disclosed that he is a consultant to Genentech and Gilead, and that he has received research support from Mpex Pharmaceuticals, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and other companie
