Zusammenfassung

Operationen aus dem Fachgebiet der Hals-Nasen-Ohren-Heilkunde zählen zu den häufigsten operativen Eingriffen im Kindesalter. Die Tonsillenchirurgie mit oder ohne Adenotomie aufgrund einer adenotonsillären Hyperplasie mit Obstruktion der oberen Atemwege in Kombination mit oder ohne Belüftungsstörung des Mittelohrs ist bei diesen Eingriffen führend. Kinder mit obstruktiver Schlafapnoe (OSA) haben hierbei ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko, perioperativ respiratorische Komplikationen zu erleiden. Es wurde über Todesfälle und bleibende neurologische Schäden aufgrund von Apnoe und einer erhöhten Opioidsensibilität berichtet. Die vorliegende Leitlinie stellt einen risikoadjustierten pragmatischen Ansatz dar. Patienten mit bestätigter oder vermuteter OSA sollen perioperativ entsprechend ihren individuellen Risiken und Bedürfnissen behandelt und überwacht werden, um schwere bleibende Schäden zu verhindern.

Abstract

Otolaryngologic surgery is one of the most frequent operative interventions performed in children. Tonsil surgery with or without adenoidectomy due to hyperplasia of the tonsils and adenoids with obstruction of the upper airways with or without tympanic ventilation disorder is the most common of these procedures. Children with a history of sleep apnoea (OSA) suffer from a significantly increased risk of perioperative respiratory complications. Cases of death and severe permanent neurologic damage have been reported due to apnoea and increased opioid sensitivity. The current guideline represents a pragmatic risk-adjusted approach. Patients with confirmed or suspected OSA should be treated perioperatively according to their individual risks and requirements, in order to avoid severe permanent damage.
