Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine specific threshold values for obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) and nadir oxygen saturation (NspO) in children with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to identify those needing preoperative echocardiography.
- A retrospective review was conducted on children who had both echocardiography and polysomnography, focusing on OAHI > 10 or NspO < 80% as indicators of severe OSA, with various metrics used to analyze the data.
- The results showed that while prepubertal children had low predictive ability for right heart strain (RHS), postpubertal children with OAHI > 55 and NspO < 69

Objective: Manual jet ventilation is a specialized oxygenation and ventilation technique that is not available in all facilities due to lack of technical familiarity and fear of complications. The objective is to review our center's 15 year experience with low pressure low frequency jet ventilation (LPLFJV).
Methods: Retrospective review of procedures utilizing LPLFJV from 2005 to 2019 were performed collecting patient demographic, surgery type and complications.
