PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: In recent years, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been increasingly recognized as a serious health problem in children. As such, there has been substantial growth in the number of research studies published in the field of pediatric OSA. It can be difficult for providers to stay current with the literature as studies are published in the journals of numerous different disciplines including pulmonary, neurology, otolaryngology, and psychology. This instructional course will review the most innovative and influential studies published in pediatric OSA between 2023 and 2024. We will focus on advancements in diagnosis, treatment, and sequelae by providing critical review and commentary of selected publications. To provide the best care to pediatric patients presenting with OSA, otolaryngologists must be familiar with the most up-to-date evaluation and management options.

Learning Objectives:

  1. To identify the most innovative and important studies published in pediatric OSA during 2023 and 2024.
  2. To become familiar with new evaluation and treatment modalities for pediatric OSA.
  3. To understand current innovations in the management of OSA in children.
