Official Title: Acoustic Reflection Method and Work of Breathing : Two New Methods to Measure Children's Upper Airway Obstruction

Brief Summary:

Upper airway obstruction (UAO) is very common in children. Presently, the importance of the UAO is evaluated by the physician during an endoscopic evaluation under general anaesthesia.

The aim of the study is to evaluate two new techniques to quantify the importance of the UAO in children; the acoustic reflection method and the measurement of the work of breathing.

80 children will be included in this monocentric, prospective, open labelled study.
