Summary
This course aims to address those areas of paediatric respiratory sleep medicine that challenge us all. An international panel of speakers will present on a range of topics relating to different aspects of sleep disordered breathing and ventilation in infants and children. The course will discuss controversial areas specific to paediatrics, such as the limitations of gold standard PSG monitoring, management of persistent OSA when CPAP fails and ethical issues around respiratory support in children with complex medical conditions. There will be the opportunity to interact with the speakers throughout the course, with case discussions utilized to illustrate key points and stimulate discussion areas.
