Tracheostomy for paediatric obstructive sleep apnoea: A systematic review.
CONCLUSION: Based on reports of children who have undergone a tracheostomy, for whom there are pre- and post-operative data, tracheostomy appears to be a successful treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea. However, additional research is recommended given the small number of patients in the literature.
