About this trial

Diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in children (OSA) requires the performance of polysomnography (PSG) in the hospital which is sometimes challenging to perform in children, and time-consuming for installation and analysis. Simplified recording and analysis methods are preferable in children but require validation in this population.

The BodySleep automatic algorithm of the polysomnograph used in our lab (A1-Nox, ResMed) associated only with respiratory signals could be used to identify respiratory events. Thus the child would have fewer sensors installed on him.
