Summary

This study looks at how well the diaphragm works in children aged 1 to 12 with obstructive sleep apnea who are having surgery. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure diaphragm movement and thickness before and after surgery. The goal is to see if children with sleep apnea have different diaphragm function compared to those without it. No new treatments are being tested—this is purely an observational study.
