Abstract
- Polysomnography (PSG) remains an essential diagnostic tool for sleep disorders in children as it provides a comprehensive assessment of physiological parameters, enabling accurate diagnosis, effective treatment planning, and the evaluation of therapeutic interventions such as continuous positive airway pressure, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. In addition to respiratory disorders, PSG also plays a pivotal role in managing pediatric patients with neuromuscular disorders, chronic lung diseases, parasomnias, restless legs syndrome, and excessive daytime sleepiness. This review highlights the primary indications for pediatric PSG, with a focus on its utility in diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, central apnea, and other sleep-related disorders.
