The cases of six patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) who were treated by noninvasive ventilation (NIV) at our center are presented.<BR>In the treatment of children, it is necessary for medical staff to provide sufficient patient and family guidance and effectively communicate with patients and their family, while considering comprehension level and psychological factors of the children, so that patients will not refuse to wear a mask.In addition, if the patient is prone to involuntary mouth opening, then a facemask needs to be selected, and to facilitate smooth mask placement, it is necessary to adjust and modify headgear to fit the individual patient.Moreover, the use of a heated humidifier is needed for long-term therapy.<BR>The use of NIV at home appears to be one of the effective techniques for the treatment of OSAS in children.
