摘要
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(OSAS)是一种儿童常见的气道梗阻性疾病,对生长发育及全身健康有巨大的影响。上颌骨狭窄可能导致儿童睡眠呼吸紊乱,上颌快速扩弓(RME)是临床上常用于治疗儿童上颌骨狭窄的方法。近年来,研究显示:RME在矫正上颌狭窄的同时还能有效改善鼻通气,治疗儿童OSAS。本文的目的是探究RME治疗儿童OSAS的效果及现状。
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome（OSAS） is a common chronic disorder in children and adolescents, drarnatically affecting systemic health and development. A small maxilla may cause sleep-disordered breathing in children. Rapid maxillary expansion（RME） is widely used by orthodontists to increase the maxillary transverse dimensions of young patients. Recent studies suggested that RME can effectively manage pediatric snoring and significantly improve OSAS. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of orthopedic RME in treating pediatric OSAS.
