title: [nCPAP/nBIPAP therapy in sleep-related obstructive respiratory disorders in childhood].
abstract: nCPAP/nBIPAP-therapy is a possibility of treatment of sleep related disturbances also in childhood. We will demonstrate the therapeutic effect of therapy in 13 patients in the age range 3 to 14 years on behaviour, school performance, number of infections in the upper airways as well as on polygraphic parameters, i.e., sleep structure, number of apneas, oxygen saturation and mean heart rate.
