A questionnaire was sent to ENT consultants in five surrounding hospitals with no in-house paediatric intensive care facilities. The second was a prospective observational study undertaken in our tertiary centre for a sub-set of patients undergoing obstructive sleep apnoea adenotonsillectomy between January 2002 and February 2005. These children were considered high risk as judged clinically by an ENT surgeon. Most had obstructive sleep apnoea and a co-morbidity. Otherwise healthy children with simple obstructive sleep apnoea were excluded.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215107007566_sec3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>15 out of 20 consultants responded to the questionnaire. Four referred on the grounds of clinical history, five referred based on pulse oximetry, nine referred syndromal children and four did not refer electively. Of the 49 high risk patients operated on, only 12 required paediatric intensive care admission with no emergency paediatric intensive care admissions. No otherwise healthy children with uncomplicated obstructive sleep apnoea symptoms required paediatric intensive care admission during the study period.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215107007566_sec4\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was no regional consensus regarding paediatric intensive care unit referral for obstructive sleep apnoea adenotonsillectomy. Clinical judgement without complex sleep studies by those experienced in this area was sufficient to detect complicated cases of obstructive sleep apnoea with co-morbidity requiring paediatric intensive care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215107007566","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,3]],"date-time":"2007-04-03T08:49:33Z","timestamp":1175590173000},"page":"42-45","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Obstructive sleep apnoea adenotonsillectomy in children: when to refer to a centre with a paediatric intensive care unit?"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"122","author":[{"given":"E J S M","family":"Blenke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A R","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hemal","family":"Raja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Bew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L C","family":"Knight","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(84)80348-0"},{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref1","first-page":"195","volume-title":"The International Classification of Sleep Disorders: Diagnostic and Coding Manual","year":"1997"},{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-200404000-00009"},{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mpd.2003.28"},{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.114.1.44"},{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0140-6736(90)90068-G"},{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.113.1.e19"},{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.105.2.405"},{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref9","first-page":"342","article-title":"The obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome \u2013 experience from a referral centre","volume":"39","author":"Abisheganaden","year":"1998","journal-title":"Singapore Med J"},{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"363","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2273.2005.01026.x","article-title":"Comments on childhood obstructive sleep apnoea","volume":"30","author":"Kubba","year":"2005","journal-title":"Clin Otolaryngol"},{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.109.4.704"},{"key":"S0022215107007566_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"784","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.93.5.784","article-title":"Postoperative compromise in children with obstructive sleep apnea: can it be anticipated","volume":"93","author":"Rosen","year":"1994","journal-title":"Pediatrics"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Laryngology &amp; Otology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0022215107007566","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,11]],"date-time":"2023-05-11T08:39:25Z","timestamp":1683794365000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0022215107007566\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,3]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2008,1]]}},"alternative-id":["S0022215107007566"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0022215107007566","relation":{},"ISSN":["0022-2151","1748-5460"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0022-2151","type":"print"},{"value":"1748-5460","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,3]]}}}
