    AbstractAdenotonsillectomy is the most common indication for sleep-disordered breathing in children.

This technique could help quantify immediate surgical impact and risk stratify postoperative treatment in these patients.Copyright © 2023 British Journal of Anaesthesia. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
