Abstract
BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common sleep-related respiratory disease. Despite reports of low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation of tonsils and adenoids for the treatment of OSAHS, the effects on lung function and quality of life are unclear. AIMS: This study aims to explore the effects of low-temperature plasma treatment on pulmonary function in children with OSAHS. METHODS: A total of 110 children with OSAHS were included in this prospective study. Low-temperature plasma radiofrequency treatment and routine surgical treatment were performed in group A and group B, respectively. Maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), forced vital capacity (FVC), and total lung capacity (TLC) were measured. OSA-18 survey was used to evaluate the quality of life 1 year after operation. RESULTS: Group A had significantly higher effective treatment rate (P < 0.05) and lower operative period, bleeding volume, visual analog score, pseudomembrane detachment time, and time required to feed after operation than group B (all P < 0.001). There were no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the groups and MVV, FVC, and TLC between the groups before and after operation (all P > 0.05), and the above indexes in both groups were significantly increased after operation (all P < 0.05). OSA-18 scores in group A were significantly lower than group B after operation (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Low-temperature plasma technique performed in OSAHS children has a good clinical effect, which can reduce the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain, pseudomembrane detachment time, hospitalization time, and improve pulmonary function and quality of life.
