Highlights include improving practices and lab environment to accommodate infants with apnea, updates on PAP masks for pediatric populations including mask fitting and desensitization, updates on best practices for positive airway pressure (PAP) titration in the sleep laboratory, overview of advance PAP and respiratory support strategies commonly performed in the sleep laboratory, and recognition of key PSG features or artifacts unique to or typically encountered with pediatric patients. Further skills in polysomnography and multiple sleep latency testing and interpretation will be promoted by experts in the field.
