Comparison of High Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy to Nasal Oxygen as a Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Infants

This is a small pilot study that will compare High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) therapy to oxygen nasal cannula therapy on infants who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and are scheduled for a clinically ordered sleep study called polysomnography (PSG). The HFNC procedure uses humidified room air delivered by nasal cannula at higher pressures and will test if HFNC can control OSA in infants better or as well as low flow nasal oxygen, the current clinical standard of care. All the infants in the study will have a brief test period of about 3 to 4 hours with the HFNC before participants begin their standard clinical PSG for titration of oxygen by nasal cannula for treatment of OSA.
