Drug-induced sedation endoscopy in surgically naive children with down syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea

• Multilevel upper airway obstruction is common in Down syndrome (DS) children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).• Adenotonsillectomy significantly improves the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index.• More than 50% of DS children have residual OSA following adenotonsillectomy.• Drug-induced sedation endoscopy may guide treatment in DS children with persistent OSA.
