Research Focus


Robert Brouillette received an Honorary Investigator appointment to the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre in 2018, in recognition of his significant accomplishments and contributions to research at the Montreal Children’s Hospital of the MUHC and McGill University and impressive national and international profile in his field. His research expertise is on sleep disorders in children, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its diagnosis. Coauthor of a major pan-Canadian consensus statement on sleep disorders in children, he developed the McGill Oximetry Score, a practical method for detecting severe OSA in children being considered for adenotonsillectomy.
