Brief Summary: Conducting a randomized control trial of oxygen in children with Down syndrome to treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea
The aim of the study is to conduct a comparison between the 2 methods of oxygen delivery during sleep in 15 children from Cincinnati Childrens Hospital and Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles 2 polysomnographies will be performed one with continuous flow and the second with pulse flow
Detailed Description: Cincinnati Childrens Hospital received NIH funding to conduct a randomized control trial of oxygen in children with Down syndrome to treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea Oxygen may be delivered through continuous flow for the duration of the respiratory cycle or pulse flow during inspiration only Pulse flow oxygen concentrators have been used clinically in adults However there is limited experience with this technology in children The advantages of pulse flow oxygen concentrator are its portability and its ability in providing compliance data
This is a pilot research study to compare the 2 methods of oxygen delivery during sleep in 15 children from Cincinnati Childrens Hospital and Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles 2 polysomnographies will be performed one with continuous flow and the second with pulse flow The pilot study is conducted in preparation for a larger project which will include 7 sites aiming at determining the effect of oxygen treatment on the frequency of obstructive apnea neurocognitive and cardiac outcomes A separate Institutional Review Board IRB protocol of the larger study will be submitted later once approved by the NIH Data and Safety Monitoring Board
