Sleep apnea has become exceedingly recognized in children. The primary treatment for sleep apnea in children is surgery in the form of adenotonsillectomy. The majority of children that undergo adenotonsillectomy are discharged following their immediate recovery in the post anesthesia care unit.
Based on national and international consensus statements, institutional practice has developed at Texas Children's Hospital as to which patients require overnight observation following adenotonsillectomy for continuous pulse oximeter monitoring to assess for desaturation events. There is insufficient evidence to suggest which patients need to stay for pulse oximeter monitoring which has led to many patients being admitted unnecessarily. Therefore, the aim of this study is to capture data prospectively on pulse oximetry in children admitted overnight following adenotonsillectomy to identify risk factors for post operative oxygen desaturation.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adenotonsillectomy patients | Patients having undergone adenotonsillectomy at Texas Children's Hospital admitted for overnight observation based on our institutional protocol will be enrolled. A Wrist OX 3150 (Nonin Medical) will be placed in PACU with saturations recorded until the following morning after the surgery. The patient will undergo pulse oximetry monitoring separately based on the hospital protocol that will be used to guide care. Data from the Wrist Ox will not be avail to the treatment team and will only be analyzed for research purposes. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Continuous Pulse Oximetry | Diagnostic Test | The patient will wear a continuous pulse oximeter after their adenotonsillectomy surgery until the following morning. This will record continuous pulse oximetry data to allow for analysis of any desaturations in the first night following the surgery. This study is observational only and this data will not be used to impact any treatment |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
