Dr. Steven Carstensen - Pediatric Airway Therapy 2020
Program Synopsis/Description:
Children are not just little adults and cannot be identified, diagnosed, treated, or followed the same as our adult patients with sleep related breathing disorders. We must reframe our entire thought process and rethink our clinical systems to help them grow to their maximum potential. In this talk, we’ll discuss how to identify children at risk from birth to adolescence, how to communicate to families and other providers, what treatments are possible and when, and how to follow these children to ensure their path to health.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this lecture attendees will be able to:
- Ask the right questions from families to identify children at risk for SRBD
- Discuss with families and other providers the various age-appropriate treatment options
- Outline how to begin habit correction therapy as soon as possible
- Devise a follow-up plan to make sure kids are on a healthy growth plan
