Pediatric Polysomnography – Pediatric Sleep Conference

Course Chairs
Christopher Cielo, DO; Dominic Gault, MD

Learning Objectives

Analyze the pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical presentation of sleep-disordered breathing in infants to inform appropriate diagnostic strategies using pediatric polysomnography
Interpret common and clinically significant cardiac rhythms and arrhythmias observed during pediatric polysomnography to guide appropriate clinical management and referral
Evaluate the limitations, technical considerations, and interpretive challenges of Multiple Sleep Latency Tests (MSLTs) and Maintenance of Wakefulness Tests (MWTs) in pediatric populations to enhance diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making
Assess the application, benefits, and limitations of artificial intelligence in pediatric polysomnography to enhance data interpretation, workflow efficiency, and clinical outcomes
Apply advanced principles of positive airway pressure (PAP) titration in pediatric patients to optimize therapeutic outcomes and ensure adherence to individualized treatment protocols
Differentiate among pediatric PAP mask types and fitting techniques to ensure optimal comfort, seal integrity, and adherence to therapy
