Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) is a sensitive measure of moment-to-moment changes in sympathetic activity and reliably identifies arousals in adult subjects. We investigated whether PAT events during sleep are associated with visually recognizable electroencephalographic arousals in healthy children and in children with sleep-disordered breathing.
