Snoring is a Silent Threat Children may develop other health problems as a result of snoring.”
The Pediatric Sleep and Snoring Center at Bangkok Hospital provides comprehensive care and treatment for sleep-related conditions such as snoring, which may be associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If left untreated, these issues can negatively affect a child’s health, development, intelligence, and growth at every stage of life. Our center is staffed with experienced pediatric specialists and a multidisciplinary team, equipped with advanced technology to help your child grow with confidence.
Our Highlights
- Comprehensive multidisciplinary medical team, including pediatric ENT specialists, pediatric pulmonologists, and pediatric neurologists specializing in sleep disorders.
- Precise diagnostics with modern equipment and minimal discomfort in cases where surgery is required.
- Holistic care covering sleep, developmental concerns, and the underlying causes of snoring.
Diagnostic Tools and Treatment Techniques
- Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ): A screening survey for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and other pediatric sleep disorders. Parents or guardians fill out a questionnaire regarding symptoms such as snoring and daytime sleepiness.
- Polysomnography (PSG): A comprehensive sleep study that records brain waves, eye movements, and muscle activity (EMG) to assess sleep quality and depth.
- Overnight Pulse Oximetry Monitoring: Measures blood oxygen levels during sleep. Used when full polysomnography isn’t feasible. Fast, simple, and safe.
- Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): Delivers pressurized air to keep airways open during sleep, ensuring adequate oxygen supply to the body.
- Tonsillectomy: Surgical removal of the tonsils to treat snoring and sleep apnea when other treatments fail. It opens the airway, reducing snoring significantly.
- Adenotonsillectomy: Removal of the adenoids (often combined with tonsillectomy) through the mouth to enlarge the airway behind the nose and throat, improving breathing and reducing snoring.
- Other Advanced Techniques: Other techniques such as AI-Assisted Sleep Study Analysis for faster, more accurate diagnostics, and Smart CPAP Machines with remote monitoring, allowing patients to be followed up at home without frequent hospital visits.
