Impact of long-term nasopharyngeal airway on health-related quality of life of children with obstructive sleep apnea caused by syndromic craniosynostosis.

Obstructive sleep apnea in children with syndromic craniosynostosis is a well-documented entity, and airway management in these group of children is difficult, with well-documented cardiorespiratory and neurodevelopment consequences. Numerous well-documented techniques are available for airway management in this group of children. In our center, the nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) is the first-line treatment.
