| Objective:To investigate the influence of antiepileptic drugs on sleep apnea in children. Methods:polysomnography (PSG) monitoring36cases of long term use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in children with sleep respiratory conditions, and with non-AEDs children with sleep respiratory conditions were compared. Results:The incidence of AEDs epilepsy in children with sleep-disordered breathing and sleep-disordered breathing is slightly higher than healthy children, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion:The interaction between epilepsy and sleep disorders, long-term use of antiepileptic drugs can cause insomnia, sedative anti-epileptic drugs also increase the apnea, but the new antiepileptic drugs have a role to promote sleep stability and normalization to antiepileptic drugs selected according to the structure of sleep and sleep disorders. |
