What are the Common Pediatric Sleep Disorders Diagnosed with PSG?
PSG helps diagnose various sleep disorders in children, including: - Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Characterized by repeated episodes of partial or complete blockage of the airway during sleep. - Central Sleep Apnea: Where breathing repeatedly stops and starts due to lack of respiratory effort. - Narcolepsy: A chronic sleep disorder characterized by overwhelming daytime drowsiness and sudden attacks of sleep. - Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD): Involves repetitive movements of the limbs during sleep. - Parasomnias: Such as night terrors, sleepwalking, and sleep talking.
