Brief Summary

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children has high prevalence and severe complications, and its first line of treatment (adenotonsillectomy) has risk of complications. Even though the use of presurgical CPAP seems logical due to its effects in adults, it must be studied in children due to the different physiopathology and adherence. One non-invasive way of study the effect is via acoustic pharyngometry, which can measure the anatomical site of obstruction. The post-surgical anatomical changes could correlate with a persistent OSAS, which would be helpful in selecting those patients who require a post surgical sleep study. The main goal of the study is to cuantify the changes in the oropharyngeal volume via acoustic pahryngometry after CPAP use, and also the changes after adentonsillectomy in children.

The CPAP equipment will be programed by the technician, not knowing the children, the parents or the main researcher whether the pressure is suboptimal or therapeutic.

Intervention Model
PARALLEL
Model Details: All recruited children with diagnosis of mild to moderate OSAS will be randomized to suboptimal (CPAP at 4 cmH2O) or therapeutical (CPAP auto from 4 to 15 cmH2O) arms, from a predetermined list in two groups of 50, blocks of 10 patients. All patients with diagnosis of severe OSAS will receive therapeutic pressure, and are considered as part of a third arm not included in the sample size.
