The Habitually Snoring Child: Much More Than Just Noise

The lecture will focus on symptoms and signs of sleep apnea in children, will delineate approaches to diagnosis including those currently being developed. I will also dedicate time to summarily describe the morbidity of sleep apnea in children and standard approaches to treatment.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify children at risk for sleep disordered breathing.
• Detect those children at higher risk of end organ morbidity.
• Make evidence-based decisions on approaches to diagnosis of sleep apnea in children.
