Long Term Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and Non-invasive Ventilation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children With Obesity and Down Syndrome

This review will focus on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to obesity and underlying syndromes. These children have a high prevalence of OSA and residual OSA after adenotonsillectomy. Therefore, a...

Description
Summary:This review will focus on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to obesity and underlying syndromes. These children have a high prevalence of OSA and residual OSA after adenotonsillectomy. Therefore, a high proportion of these children are treated with CPAP or NIV. This review will focus on treatment selection tools and will subsequently cover specific issues on CPAP treatment in obese and syndromic children with a major focus on Down syndrome.
