Children with CP who undergo AT have a significant risk of developing a postoperative respiratory complication. Realistic counseling of families around increased perioperative risks in this population is imperative and close postoperative monitoring is critical. Many children will obtain a reduction in OAHI, but additional surgical management is often required, including tracheostomy. Further research is needed to determine the best management strategy for OSA in children with CP. Laryngoscope, 2021.
