Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing (pSDB) is a serious condition that affects children's sleep quality and overall health. It encompasses a range of issues, from occasional snoring to more severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

Early Diagnosis and Treatment are Crucial:

Early diagnosis and treatment of pSDB in children can have a significant positive impact on their long-term health and well-being.

Signs and Symptoms of pSDB:

• Snoring
  
• Mouth breathing
  
• Restless sleep
  
• Bedwetting
  
• Daytime sleepiness
  
• Difficulty concentrating
  
• Learning difficulties
  
• Behavioral issues
  
• Mood and anxiety disorders
  
• Teeth grinding
  

Potential Consequences of Untreated pSDB:

• Neurocognitive Impairment: Sleep fragmentation and intermittent oxygen deprivation can negatively impact brain development.
  
• Craniofacial Abnormalities: Untreated pSDB can contribute to abnormal facial growth and development.
  
• Breathing Disorders: Can lead to the development of chronic breathing problems.
