Description
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children was first described by our group in 1976, on a cohort of 8 patients. The parameters for screening children with sleep disordered breathing have evolved as the field of sleep medicine has advanced.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the differences between adult and pediatric sleep disordered breathing.
- Identify the systemic effects of abnormal breathing.
- Comprehend hypoxic versus non-hypoxic events during sleep.
