REZUMAT

Obezitatea reprezintă o problemă de sănătate publică, cu o creştere impresionantă a prevalenţei în ultimele decenii, populaţia pediatrică înscriindu-se în aceste caracteristici. Printre complicaţiile multiorganice asociate obezităţii se numără şi patologia respiratorie legată de somn. Asocierea apnee obstructivă de somn – obezitate este suspectată anamnestic la un copil care sforăie, prezintă fragmentarea somnului şi pauze respiratorii, patologia respiratorie fiind obiectivată prin polisomnografie. Apneea obstructivă de somn prezintă numeroase complicaţii (multe dintre ele augmentate prin asocierea obezităţii) – cardiace, metabolice, neurocognitive, ce afectează calitatea vieţii. Tratamentul constă în scădere în greutate, adenoamigdalectomie şi folosirea ventilaţiei de tip CPAP.
