简要总结
Obstructive sleep apnea results in decreased attentiveness and response times in patients. The objective of this study is to quantify these consequences in pediatric OSA patients using an already established tool for examining the results of sleep deprivation and fragmentation: psychomotor vigilance testing. PVT has been used in children, but has not been studied in pediatric OSA patients. This study aims to employ PVT along the normal course of diagnosis and treatment of pediatric OSA patients in our clinical practice at Arkansas Children's Hospital. The investigators hypothesize that pediatric OSA patients will exhibit decreased PVT scoring when compared to children without OSA, and that PVT can be used to diagnose and monitor treatment outcomes in these patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants Who Achieved Criteria of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in the PVT Assessment
时间窗: 10-20 minutes each session, 3 sessions total
Subjects with obstructive sleep apnea will be asked to participate in 3 sessions. Your child will be asked to complete some noninvasive tests at each session. These tests consist of Psychomotor Vigilance Task testing. A Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) will measure your level of alertness and attentiveness. The PVT involves pressing a button after hearing a specific tone or seeing a flashing light. This test takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The PVT testing will be done at the first clinic visit, then before any treatments, and finally after treatments have taken place. Outcome Measure is full completion of the PVT testing.
