Aeration properties of a new sleeping surface for infants.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Night-time symptoms and hypoxemia during sleep may affect sleep quality in children with chronic lung disease such as bronchiectasis. Poor sleep quality may impair growth, learning, and emotional development of children. Our aim was to assess the sleep quality and associated factors in children with non-cyst...
