Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children: An Evidence-based, Multidisciplinary Approach

Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children: An Evidence-based, Multidisciplinary Approach provides researchers and practitioners with a complete and comprehensive source of information on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and controversies concerning sleep disordered breathing in infants. Written by an interdisciplinary team of authors, chapters consolidate information on evaluation and management of pediatric sleep disordered breathing (SDB) currently fragmented across different specialties. Principles of surgery for SDB as well as non-medical approaches, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), are covered and a section dedicated to controversies in pediatric SDB discusses clinical cases and future trends for the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea in children. Consolidates information on pediatric sleep disordered breathing (SDB) across disciplines Covers common diagnostic modalities and adverse outcomes related to snoring and sleep apnea in infants Includes flowcharts and clinical guidelines for evaluation and management of pediatric SDB INDICE: Part 1.
