Abstract

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children includes a broad range of respiratory problems beyond collapse of the upper airway. In addition to obstructive sleep apnea, pediatric patients with SDB have control of breathing disorders, central sleep apnea, central hypoventilation, hypoventilation due to neuromuscular or chest wall disorders, and worsening sleep-related gas exchange associated with chronic pulmonary conditions. Many referred children with have other medical comorbidities associated with increased risk of SDB such as obesity, genetic syndromes, craniofacial abnormalities, CNS malformations, neuromuscular diseases, chest wall abnormalities, and/or other chronic respiratory problems. The age spectrum ranges from infants to young adults. Many patients will have intellectual and other disabilities. Diagnostic testing in the sleep laboratory will require modifications in the sleep environment, equipment, sensors, and scoring approach to accommodate pediatric patients and their caregivers for best care.
