Children are Different l Different Diagnostic Categories l Different Diagnostic Criteria l Different Symptomatology –Often Paradoxical l Different Nosology?
The Sleepless Child l Disorders of Initiating sleep l Disorders of Initiating and Maintaining Sleep l Disorders of Maintaining Sleep
The Most Important Historical Question
l Does the Child Sleep Well …
The Most Important Historical Question l Does the Child Sleep Well … SOMEWHERE?
YES l BEHAVIORAL/CONDITIONED
NO l BIOLOGICAL
Initiating Sleep l AGE DEPENDENT Neonatal / Early Infancy Normal Ultradian Rhythm minute cycles hour feedings Total sleep time about hours Colic/Pain/teething/medical disorders
Sleepless Child: Months Parental Behaviors at child’s bedtime & Parental response to normal nocturnal wakings = DISORDER OF INITIATING & MAINTAINING SLEEP
Sleepless Child: Toddler Behavioral / Conditioned Occasionally Biological
Sleepless Child: Adolescent NORMAL PHYSIOLOGY CIRCADIAN FACTORS ANXIETYMOTIVATED
Sleepless Child l DISORDERS OF SLEEP MAINTENANCE ENVIRONMENTALBIOLOGICAL
Sleepless Child: Maintenance l DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Pain Syndromes AllergyApneaPLMDNightmaresSeizures Circadian Rhythm Abnormalities
Gastroesophageal Reflux/Disorder l Reflux into the esophagus –Level ?? l Reflux into the pharynx l Aspiration into the lungs
GER l DIAGNOSIS –pH Probe study –Swallow Studies –Age dependent approach
GER GER does not = G.E.R.D.
GER & OSA l Which comes first? –Association –Vocal cord excoriation, swelling, edema –Aspiration pneumonia –Changes in airway physiology
GER diagnosis l Diagnosis not made in sleep lab l Methods –pH Study –Polysomnography –Probe + PSG –Endoscopy
GER l Treatment H2 Blockers ( ranitidine ) Parasympathomimetics ( cisapride )
