The respiratory muscles are rarely spared in children with neuromuscular diseases (NMD)
which puts them at risk of alveolar hypoventilation. The role of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) …

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are effective
treatments for children with severe sleep disordered breathing (SBD). However, some …

Introduction Current guidelines recommend initiating continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP) in children during an overnight in‐hospital titration study. Due to a shortage of …

Study Objectives: During positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy for sleep apnea
syndromes, the machine-detected respiratory event index (REIFLOW) is an important …

Once continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is started
in a child, and the child is discharged home, follow-up needs to be organized with regular …

Non-invasive ventilation is increasingly used in children for acute and chronic respiratory
failure. Ventilators available for clinical use have different levels of complexity, and clinicians …

Study Objectives: An increasing number of children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
require treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). This study aimed to …

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) consists of the delivery of a constant positive
pressure in the airways by means of a noninvasive interface aiming to maintain airway …

Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an important and evolving area in the
pediatric population, with significant sequelae when not adequately managed. The use of …

Home noninvasive ventilation (NIV), including continuous (CPAP) and bilevel (BPAP)
positive airway pressure, is increasingly used in children worldwide. In this narrative review …
