This instruction course will discuss the most current recommendations for evaluating and managing children with obstructive sleep apnea. Appropriate indications for adenotonsillectomy and approaches to improve value when performing this common procedure will be discussed. Work-up, diagnostic testing (overnight pulse oximetry, polysomnogram, cineMRI, and sleep endoscopy) and medical treatment for at-risk children and patients with persistent OSA after T&A will be reviewed. Advanced surgical techniques (supraglottoplasty, epiglottopexy, pharyngoplasty, and tongue base reduction) for pediatric OSA will be discussed with a review of recently published studies.

Description
This instruction course will discuss the most current recommendations for evaluating and managing children with obstructive sleep apnea. Appropriate indications for adenotonsillectomy and approaches to improve value when performing this common procedure will be discussed. Work-up, diagnostic testing (overnight pulse oximetry, polysomnogram, cineMRI, and sleep endoscopy) and medical treatment for at-risk children and patients with persistent OSA after T&A will be reviewed. Advanced surgical techniques (supraglottoplasty, epiglottopexy, pharyngoplasty, and tongue base reduction) for pediatric OSA will be discussed with a review of recently published studies. Learning Objectives:1: Identify approaches to improve value in the management of children undergoing T&A for sleep-disordered breathing. 2: Compare appropriate work-up options and indications for diagnostic testing (overnight pulse oximetry, polysomnogram) as well as options to evaluate the site of obstruction (cineMRI, sleep endoscopy) in children with OSA. 3: Implement advanced surgical techniques (supraglottoplasty, epiglottopexy, pharyngoplasty, tongue-base reduction) for children with persistent OSA after T&A, tailored to the child’s site of obstruction including an understanding of recently published studies.Faculty:Jeremy D.
