Sleep and Breathing in Children |
| Synopsis: |
Infants and children spend one- to two-thirds of their life asleep. Despite this, very little attention has been paid to understanding both normal sleep and sleep-related abnormalities during child development. This volume is devoted to breathing during sleep, its changes with development (from the fetus onwards), and the pathophysiology of sleep-related breathing disorders. Sleep and Breathing in Children: * investigates breathing during sleep from the fetus onwards * examines the effects of sleep on upper airway resistance, ventilatory drive, and respiratory muscle tone * compares differences between childhood and adult obstructive sleep apnea, and the profound changes in breathing and sleep during growth and maturation * discusses the current research within the field of pediatric sleep disorders * reviews the history of childhood obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and outlines a future framework for the study of childhood sleep-disordered breathing |
