Nocturnal Noninvasive Ventilation in Children

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Pediatric sleep medicine, including pediatric sleep breathing disorders, has markedly evolved over the past several decades and has been accompanied by major developments in our understanding of such disorders, their diagnosis, and treatment. The resulting consensus in the diagnostic approach has led to improved recognition and subsequent “increase” in the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing in children. However, there still remains a lack of consensus in the selection of the optimal management strategy, including noninvasive ventilation (NIV). In this chapter, we present a review of the various indications of NIV in children, an empirically driven proposal on how to implement NIV, and finally an update on advances in NIV and their applications to children.
