Abstract

Noninvasive ventilatory support is the primary modality for treating various chronic respiratory conditions associated with sleep disorders, which includes obstructive sleep apnea, sleep-related hypoventilation, central sleep apnea, and sleep-disordered breathing secondary to neuromuscular weakness. This can be in the form of continuous positive airway pressure, bilevel positive airway pressure, or an advanced modality using a proprietary algorithm. Due to advances in technology, more children who require noninvasive ventilation during sleep are being transitioned into adult care. This chapter briefly lists the goal of noninvasive ventilation, reviews sleep-related hypoventilation, central sleep apnea, and sleep-disordered breathing in patients with neuromuscular weakness. In addition, we identified barriers encountered during the transition of care in children. Lastly, we outlined a methodological approach to transitioning pediatric patients requiring chronic noninvasive ventilation to adult care.
