Abstract
Respiratory sequelae are a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in children with NMD. Impaired cough strength and resulting airway clearance as well as sleep disordered breathing are the two main categories of respiratory sequelae. Routine clinical evaluation and diagnostic testing by pulmonologists is an important pillar of the multidisciplinary care required for children with NMD. Regular surveillance for respiratory disease and timely implementation of treatment including pulmonary clearance techniques as well as ventilation can prevent respiratory related morbidity including hospital admissions and improve survival. Additionally, novel disease modifying therapies for some NMDs are now available which has significantly improved the clinical trajectories of patients resulting in a paradigm shift in clinical care. Pulmonologists are 'learning' the new natural history for these diseases and adjusting clinical management accordingly.

Abstract
Long-term ventilation (LTV) in children at home, especially invasive ventilation, is not widely available nor practised in low-resource settings (LRS). Barriers to providing LTV include underdeveloped pediatric critical care services, limited expertise in pediatric LTV, limited capacity to screen for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and high cost of LTV equipment and consumables. Additional challenges encountered in LRS may be unreliable electricity supply and difficult socioeconomic conditions. Where LTV at home has been successfully implemented, caregivers and families in LRS must often take full responsibility for their child's care as professional home-based nursing care is scarce. Selecting suitable children and families to offer LTV in LRS may therefore face difficult ethical decisions when families are disempowered or incapable of providing 24-h care at home. Early caregiver participation and hands-on training in tracheostomy care and LTV equipment is key to success, irrespective of the caregiver's level of education. The use of overnight oximetry, mobile phone technology, spirometry, and clinical evaluation are simple tools that can aid recognition and monitoring of children needing LTV. As children survive longer supported by LTV, engaging with adult services at an early stage is important to ensure suitable pathways for transition to adult care are in place. Building capacity and expertise in pediatric LTV in LRS requires targeted training of health professionals in related disciplines and advocacy to policymakers and funders that LTV in appropriately selected circumstances is worthwhile, life-changing, and cost-saving.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Developments and technological advances in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units have led to a prolonged life expectancy of pediatric patients with chronic respiratory failure. Therefore, the number of hemodynamically stable pediatric patients with chronic respiratory failure who need mechanical ventilator assistance throughout the day has significantly increased. AIMS Numerous conditions, including parenchymal lung diseases, airway disorders, neuromotor disorders, or respiratory defects, can lead to chronic respiratory failure. For individuals who cannot tolerate non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV), invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is the only suitable choice. Due to increasing need, mechanical ventilator technology is continuously evolving. RESULTS As a result of this process, home-type mechanical ventilators have been produced for patients requiring long-term IMV. Patients with chronic respiratory failure can be safely monitored at home with these ventilators. DISCUSSION Home follow-up of these patients has many benefits such as an increase in general quality of life and a positive contribution to their emotional and cognitive development. CONCLUSION In this compilation, indications for home-based IMV, features of home invasive mechanical ventilators (HMVs), patient monitoring, and the detailed advantages of using IMV at home will be elucidated.

Abstract
Long-term noninvasive ventilation modalities for the pediatric population have undergone a continuous evolution. Hybrid noninvasive ventilation modalities have been recently introduced in clinical practice. Combining the advantages of conventional ventilation, hybrid modes use algorithms that automatically adjust the ventilator's settings to achieve a predefined ventilation target. Most of the recommendations on the use and settings of hybrid noninvasive ventilation modalities in children are derived from adult experience. Therefore, there is a lack of evidence on its implementation in pediatric chronic respiratory diseases. This scoping review aims to map the existing information regarding the use of hybrid ventilation modalities in the pediatric population and identify knowledge or research gaps. We performed a literature search using MEDLINE and Pubmed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. We included 13 studies (ten studies on average volume-assured pressure-support ventilation; two studies on intelligent volume-assured pressure-support ventilation; and one study on adaptive servoventilation). The use of new noninvasive ventilation modes in the pediatric population has been applied for the treatment of neuromuscular and hypoventilation syndromes as an alternative therapeutic option in the case of the failure of conventional noninvasive ventilation. Their widespread use has been hampered by the limited evidence available. Longitudinal studies on a larger number of patients are needed to confirm their effectiveness and evaluate their long-term clinical and functional outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dyspnoea and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) are common in children with life-limiting conditions but studies on treatment with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are scarce. The aim of the study was to describe children treated with long-term NIV/CPAP within a paediatric palliative care programme in France. METHODS Cross-sectional survey on children and young adults with complex medical conditions treated within the French paediatric NIV network with long-term NIV/CPAP. Characteristics of the patients were analysed and patient-related outcome measures of NIV/CPAP benefit were reported. RESULTS The data of 50 patients (68% boys), median age 12 (0.4-21) years were analysed. Twenty-three (46%) patients had a disorder of the central nervous system and 5 (10%) a chromosomal anomaly. Thirty-two (64%) patients were treated with NIV and 18 (36%) with CPAP. NIV/CPAP was initiated on an abnormal Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index in 18 (36%) of the patients, an abnormal nocturnal gas exchange alone in 28 (56%), and after an acute respiratory failure in 11 (22%) of the patients. Mean objective NIV/CPAP adherence was 9.3±3.7 hours/night. NIV/CPAP was associated with a decrease in dyspnoea in 60% of patients, an increase in sleep duration in 60% and in sleep quality in 74%, and an improvement in parents' sleep in 40%. CONCLUSIONS In children with life-limiting conditions, long-term NIV/CPAP may be associated with relief of dyspnoea, an improvement of SDB and an improvement in parents' sleep.

Perspectives of children and young people, their parents and the staff who care for them. Child Care Health Dev 2024; 50:e13292.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children and young people (CYP) can result in multiple health outcomes; however, adherence to NIV can be challenging. Suboptimally treated SDB may increase the risk of adverse consequences. Placing children's and parents' goals at the core of their SDB treatment may support adherence to NIV. To identify these health outcomes, it is necessary to gain a greater understanding of CYP's experiences of using NIV, whether they perceive any benefits from NIV use, as well as the outcomes that their parents and NIV staff identify as important. METHODS Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with nine CYP (aged 4-16 + years), 13 parents and nine healthcare professionals (HCPs); verbatim transcripts were analysed using Framework Analysis. RESULTS CYP predominantly reported an improvement in levels of energy, focus and ability to concentrate whereas parents also identified outcomes of mood and behaviour. The majority of children showed understanding of the reasons for being prescribed NIV. A subset of children did not notice their SDB. The health outcomes identified by HCPs and parents that could result from improved overnight gas exchange are subjective measures that rely on parent and child report. Measuring these health outcomes focussed on the impact of improved sleep rather than measuring improved sleep itself. CONCLUSIONS It is important for HCPs administering NIV to ascertain whether CYP have noticed any of their sleep-disordered breathing symptoms and any improvements from using NIV, including the relationship between benefits and side effects. Focussing on promoting understanding for CYP who are unable to link their wellbeing to their previous night's sleep may be futile and HCP strategies should concentrate on the process of tolerating the device. Parents, CYP and HCPs should collaborate to identify treatment goals specifically tailored for the child and monitor any progress against these goals.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Sleep laboratory polysomnography is the gold standard for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis in infants, but its access remains limited. Oximetry-capnography is another simple and widely used tool that can provide information on the presence of desaturations and alveolar hypoventilation. However, its reliability is debated. This study aimed at examining its use in determining OSA severity in infants. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted in a sleep unit in a tertiary hospital in infants < 4 months old with clinical signs of OSA or Pierre Robin sequence who underwent a 1-night polysomnography coupled with oximetry-capnography. RESULTS Among the 78 infants included (median [interquartile range] age: 61 [45-89] days at polysomnography), 44 presented with Pierre Robin sequence and 34 presented with isolated airway obstruction. The clinical, sleep, and respiratory characteristics were not significantly different between the 2 subgroups. In the entire cohort, 63.5% had severe OSA. The median obstructive apnea-hypopnea index was 14.5 (7.4-5.9) events/h, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) was 97.4% (96.5-98.1%), and transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure (PtcCO2) was 41.1 mmHg (38.3-44.9). The optimal threshold to predict an obstructive apnea-hypopnea index > 10 events/h was 6 events/h for an oxygen desaturation index ≥ 3% (sensitivity, 95.7%; specificity, 51.9%) and 2 events/h for an oxygen desaturation index ≥ 4% (sensitivity, 95.7%; specificity, 48.1%). CONCLUSIONS Whereas transcutaneous capnography does not appear to be sufficient in predicting severe OSA in infants < 4 months old with Pierre Robin sequence or clinical signs of OSA, oximetry may be a useful alternative for the screening of severe OSA in infants in the absence of polysomnography.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The polysomnography (PSG) is the gold-standard for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome diagnosis and assessment under positive airway pressure (PAP) therapies in children. Recently, an innovative digital medicine solution, including a mandibular jaw movement (MJM) sensor coupled with automated analysis, has been validated as an alternative to PSG for pediatric application. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the reliability of MJM automated analysis for the assessment of residual apnea/hypopnea events during sleep in children with OSA treated with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) or continuous PAP (CPAP). METHODS In this open-label prospective non-randomized multicentric trial, we included children aged from 5 to 18 years with a diagnosis of severe OSA. The children underwent in-laboratory PSG with simultaneous MJM monitoring and at-home recording with MJM monitoring 3 months later. Agreement between PSG and MJM analysis in measuring the residual apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was evaluated by the Bland-Altman method. The treatment effect on residual AHI was estimated for both PSG and MJM analysis. RESULTS Fifteen (60% males) children were included with a median age of 12 years [interquartile range 8-15]. Two (17%) were ventilated with NIV and 13 (83%) with CPAP. There was a good agreement between MJM-AHI and PSG-AHI with a median bias of -0.25 (95% CI: -3.40 to +2.04) events/h. The reduction in AHI under treatment was consistently significant across the three measurement methods: in-laboratory PSG and MJM recordings in the laboratory and at home. CONCLUSION Automated analysis of MJM is a highly reliable alternative method to assess residual events in a small population treated with PAP therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diaphragmatic sleep disordered breathing (dSDB) has been recently identified as sleep dysfunction secondary to diaphragmatic weakness in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). However, scoring criteria for the identification of dSDB are missing.This study aimed to define and validate dSDB scoring criteria and to evaluate whether dSDB severity correlates with respiratory progression in DMD. METHODS Scoring criteria for diaphragmatic apnoea (dA) and hypopnoeas (dH) have been defined by the authors considering the pattern observed on cardiorespiratory polygraphy (CR) and the dSDB pathophysiology.10 sleep professionals (physiologists, consultants) blinded to each other were involved in a two-round Delphi survey to rate each item of the proposed dSDB criteria (Likert scale 1-5) and to recognise dSDB among other SDB. The scorers' accuracy was tested against the authors' panel.Finally, CR previously conducted in DMD in clinical setting were rescored and diaphragmatic Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (dAHI) was derived. Pulmonary function (forced vital capacity per cent of predicted, FVC%pred), overnight oxygen saturation (SpO2) and transcutaneous carbon dioxide (tcCO2) were correlated with dAHI. RESULTS After the second round of Delphi, raters deemed each item of dA and dH criteria as relevant as 4 or 5. The agreement with the panel in recognising dSDB was 81%, kappa 0.71, sensitivity 77% and specificity 85%.32 CRs from DMD patients were reviewed. dSDB was previously scored as obstructive. The dAHI negatively correlated with FVC%pred (r=-0.4; p<0.05). The total number of dA correlated with mean overnight tcCO2 (r 0.4; p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS dSDB is a newly defined sleep disorder that correlates with DMD progression. A prospective study to evaluate dSDB as a respiratory measure for DMD in clinical and research settings is planned.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with syndromic hemifacial microsomia (SHFM) are at risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence of OSA and its management, especially in patients with Goldenhar syndrome (GS). METHODS The respiratory polygraphies and clinical management of 15 patients, aged 2 to 23 years, evaluated at a national reference center, were analyzed. RESULTS Four (27%) patients had no OSA, 4 (27%) had mild OSA, and 7 (46%), of whom 5 were ≤ 2 years old, had severe OSA. None of the patients had central apneas. Only one patient had alveolar hypoventilation, and another one had nocturnal hypoxemia. Two patients had severe OSA despite prior adenoidectomy or mandibular distraction osteogenesis. Median duration of follow-up was 3.5 years (range 0.5-9 years). None of the patients without OSA or with mild OSA at baseline respiratory polygraphy developed OSA during the follow up. Among the 7 patients with severe OSA, 3 required continuous positive airway pressure or noninvasive ventilation, and one patient required a tracheostomy. CONCLUSION In conclusion, patients with SHFM are at high risk of severe OSA at any age, underlining the importance of systematic sleep studies to diagnose and evaluate the severity of OSA. Individualized treatment should be privileged, based on a careful examination of the entire upper airway, taking in account potential associated risk factors. All patients with SHFM should be managed by a pediatric expert multidisciplinary medical/surgical team until the end of post pubertal growth.

Abstract
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy, resulting from the degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord. A critical aspect of SMA is its impact on respiratory function. As the disease progresses, respiratory muscles, in particular intercostal muscles, become increasingly affected, leading to breathing difficulties and respiratory failure. Without intervention, many children with SMA type 1 die from respiratory failure before their second year of life. While assisted ventilation has improved survival, it often results in ventilator dependence. The development of new SMN-augmenting therapies has renewed optimism, but their long-term impact on respiratory function is uncertain, and non-invasive respiratory support remains an important part of SMA management. Despite the importance of respiratory support in SMA, knowledge regarding sleep disorders in this population is limited. This review aims to synthesize existing literature on sleep and sleep-related breathing disorders in patients with SMA, with a focus on SMA type 1. We summarize evidence of sleep-disordered breathing and respiratory failure in SMA, as well as outcomes and survival benefits associated with non-invasive or invasive ventilation with or without pharmacological therapies. We also discuss current knowledge regarding the effects of novel disease-modifying therapies for SMA on respiratory function and sleep. In conclusion, optimal care for children with SMA requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes neurology and respiratory specialists. This review highlights the importance of monitoring sleep and respiratory function in SMA, as well as the potential benefits and challenges associated with assisted ventilation combined with new therapies.

Abstract
Home noninvasive ventilation (NIV), including continuous (CPAP) and bilevel (BPAP) positive airway pressure, is increasingly used in children worldwide. In this narrative review, we present a comprehensive summary of the equipment available for home NIV in pediatrics, excluding neonates. NIV may be challenging in young children, as the majority of the equipment has been developed for adults. Regarding the interfaces, only a few masks have been specifically developed for young children in recent years, while older children may benefit from a large variety of interfaces. Even though much progress has been made, skin injuries are still present, and need to be managed rapidly. Several studies addressed the management of the side effects, but recent studies are lacking regarding orofacial anomalies. No recent study reported the available interfaces for young children and the strategies for an optimal mask fit. Regarding the devices, an adapted NIV device to pediatrics that allows an adequate patient's breathing detection should guarantee optimal ventilatory efficiency and monitoring of NIV. A close follow-up and regular monitoring should be mandatory to rule out the potential issues, optimize NIV therapy and ascertain the efficacy of NIV. However, studies are lacking to guide the choice of devices in young children and the optimal management of home NIV in pediatrics. We summarized the characteristics of the different interfaces available for young children and the limitations of NIV devices. We finally addressed potential areas for future research on long-term home NIV in children.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an important and evolving area in the pediatric population, with significant sequelae when not adequately managed. The use of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is expanding rapidly and is being prescribed to patients with persistent OSA post adenotonsillectomy as well as those children who are not surgical candidates including those with medical complexity. AREAS DISCUSSED This article provides a state-of-the-art review on the diagnosis of pediatric OSA and treatment with positive airway pressure (PAP). The initiation of PAP therapy, pediatric interface considerations, PAP mode selection, administration and potential complications of PAP therapy, factors influencing PAP adherence, the use of remote ventilation machine downloads, considerations surrounding follow-up of patients post PAP initiation and evaluation of weaning off PAP will be reviewed. The literature search was conducted via PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar databases through to March 2024. EXPERT OPINION Further research is required to address barriers to adherence. Further innovation of home monitoring devices for both the diagnosis and assessment of OSA is required, given the limited pediatric sleep medicine resources in several countries worldwide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is the treatment for chronic hypercapnic alveolar hypoventilation. The proportion and evolution of paediatric invasive (IMV) and non-invasive (NIV) HMV across the world is unknown, as well as the disorders and age of children using HMV. METHODS Search of Medline/PubMed for publications of paediatric surveys on HMV from 2000 to 2023. RESULTS Data from 32 international reports, representing 8815 children (59% boys) using HMV, were analysed. A substantial number of children had neuromuscular disorders (NMD; 37%), followed by cardiorespiratory (Cardio-Resp; 16%), central nervous system (CNS; 16%), upper airway (UA; 13%), other disorders (Others; 10%), central hypoventilation (4%), thoracic (3%) and genetic/congenital disorders (Gen/Cong; 1%). Mean age±SD (range) at HMV initiation was 6.7±3.7 (0.5-14.7) years. Age distribution was bimodal, with two peaks around 1-2 and 14-15 years. The number and proportion of children using NIV was significantly greater than that of children using IMV (n=6362 vs 2453, p=0.03; 72% vs 28%, p=0.048), with wide variations among countries, studies and disorders. NIV was used preferentially in the preponderance of children affected by UA, Gen/Cong, Thoracic, NMD and Cardio-Resp disorders. Children with NMD still receiving primary invasive HMV were mainly type I spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Mean age±SD at initiation of IMV and NIV was 3.3±3.3 and 8.2±4.4 years (p<0.01), respectively. The rate of children receiving additional daytime HMV was higher with IMV as compared with NIV (69% vs 10%, p<0.001). The evolution of paediatric HMV over the last two decades consists of a growing number of children using HMV, in parallel to an increasing use of NIV in recent years (2020-2023). There is no clear trend in the profile of children over time (age at HMV). However, an increasing number of patients requiring HMV were observed in the Gen/Cong, CNS and Others groups. Finally, the estimated prevalence of paediatric HMV was calculated at 7.4/100 000 children. CONCLUSIONS Patients with NMD represent the largest group of children using HMV. NIV is increasingly favoured in recent years, but IMV is still a prevalent intervention in young children, particularly in countries indicating less experience with NIV.

Abstract
There is an increasing demand for the assessment of sleep-disordered breathing in children of all ages to prevent the deleterious neurocognitive and behaviour consequences of the under-diagnosis and under-treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea [OSA]. OSA can be considered in three broad categories based on predominating contributory features: OSA type 1 [enlarged tonsils and adenoids], type II [Obesity] and type III [craniofacial abnormalities, syndromal, storage diseases and neuromuscular conditions]. The reality is that sleep questionnaires or calculations of body mass index in isolation are poorly predictive of OSA in individuals. Globally, the access to testing in tertiary referral centres is comprehensively overwhelmed by the demand and financial cost. This has prompted the need for better awareness and focussed history taking, matched with simpler tools with acceptable accuracy used in the setting of likely OSA. Consequently, we present key indications for polysomnography and present scalable, existing alternatives for assessment of OSA in the hospital or home setting, using polygraphy, oximetry or contactless sleep monitoring.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia also known as chronic lung disease of prematurity has changed as a disease entity over the last five decades and children with "new bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)" have better survival rates. This necessitates strategies to prevent severe BPD and provide organized home support. Home respiratory support in these children varies from home oxygen to noninvasive ventilation and tracheostomy ventilation. This review was conducted utilizing Joanna Briggs Institute publications on evidence synthesis and presentation of results for a scoping review. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses were used to report the results. The risk of bias assessment was done using "The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews tool for interventional studies." After screening for the duplication of results and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, twenty-seven studies were assessed by reading the full texts. Out of these, eleven were finally included in this systematic review. The total sample size from all studies was 4794, including 2705 males. The 4/11 studies home oxygen, one study reported continuous positive airway pressure/bilevel positive airway pressure and seven studies used tracheostomy or tracheostomy ventilation. The median duration of post-natal invasive ventilation was higher in those discharged on home oxygen compared to those who did not need oxygen at discharge. There is a significant proportion of children who are tracheostomy ventilated (8.65%) at home. In the absence of established guidelines, these children are vulnerable when it comes to care at home and the timing of decannulation. For home oxygen alone, guidelines by ERS, ATS and BTS have streamlined weaning protocols and the need for having a multi-disciplinary team to care for these children.

Abstract
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) consists of the delivery of a constant positive pressure in the airways by means of a noninvasive interface aiming to maintain airway patency throughout the entire respiratory cycle. PEEP is increasingly used in the chronic care of children with anatomical or functional abnormalities of the upper airways to correct severe persistent obstructive sleep apnea despite optimal management which commonly includes adenotonsillectomy in young children. PEEP may be used at any age, due to improvements in equipment and interfaces. Criteria for CPAP/NIV initiation, optimal setting, follow-up and monitoring, as well as weaning criteria have been established by international experts, but validated criteria are lacking. As chronic PEEP is a highly specialised treatment, patients should be managed by an expert pediatric multidisciplinary team.

Abstract
RATIONALE The use of long-term noninvasive respiratory support is increasing in children along with an extension of indications, in particular in children with central nervous system (CNS) disorders. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of children with CNS disorders treated with long-term noninvasive respiratory support in France. METHODS Data were collected from 27 French pediatric university centers through an anonymous questionnaire filled for every child treated with noninvasive ventilatory support ≥3 months on 1st June 2019. MAIN RESULTS The data of 182 patients (55% boys, median age: 10.2 [5.4;14.8] years old [range: 0.3-25]) were collected: 35 (19%) patients had nontumoral spinal cord injury, 22 (12%) CNS tumors, 63 (35%) multiple disabilities, 26 (14%) central alveolar hypoventilation and 36 (20%) other CNS disorders. Seventy five percent of the patients were treated with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and 25% with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The main investigations performed before CPAP/NIV initiation were nocturnal gas exchange recordings, alone or coupled with poly(somno)graphy (in 29% and 34% of the patients, respectively). CPAP/NIV was started in an acute setting in 10% of the patients. Median adherence was 8 [6;10] hours/night, with 12% of patients using treatment <4 h/day. Nasal mask was the most common interface (70%). Airway clearance techniques were used by 31% of patients. CONCLUSION CPAP/NIV may be a therapeutic option in children with CNS disorders. Future studies should assess treatment efficacy and patient reported outcome measures.

Abstract
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder. Although adenotonsillectomy is first-line management for pediatric OSA, up to 40% of children may have persistent OSA. This document provides an evidence-based clinical practice guideline on the management of children with persistent OSA. The target audience is clinicians, including physicians, dentists, and allied health professionals, caring for children with OSA. Methods: A multidisciplinary international panel of experts was convened to determine key unanswered questions regarding the management of persistent pediatric OSA. We conducted a systematic review of the relevant literature. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach was used to rate the quality of evidence and the strength of the clinical recommendations. The panel members considered the strength of each recommendation and evaluated the benefits and risks of applying the intervention. In formulating the recommendations, the panel considered patient and caregiver values, the cost of care, and feasibility. Results: Recommendations were developed for six management options for persistent OSA. Conclusions: The panel developed recommendations for the management of persistent pediatric OSA based on limited evidence and expert opinion. Important areas for future research were identified for each recommendation.

Eur Respir Rev 2024; 33:230121.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to summarise evidence that became available after publication of the 2017 European Respiratory Society statement on the diagnosis and management of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) in 1- to 23-month-old children. The definition of OSAS in the first 2 years of life should probably differ from that applied in children older than 2 years. An obstructive apnoea-hypopnoea index >5 events·h-1 may be normal in neonates, as obstructive and central sleep apnoeas decline in frequency during infancy in otherwise healthy children and those with symptoms of upper airway obstruction. A combination of dynamic and fixed upper airway obstruction is commonly observed in this age group, and drug-induced sleep endoscopy may be useful in selecting the most appropriate surgical intervention. Adenotonsillectomy can improve nocturnal breathing in infants and young toddlers with OSAS, and isolated adenoidectomy can be efficacious particularly in children under 12 months of age. Laryngomalacia is a common cause of OSAS in young children and supraglottoplasty can provide improvement in children with moderate-to-severe upper airway obstruction. Children who are not candidates for surgery or have persistent OSAS post-operatively can be treated with positive airway pressure (PAP). High-flow nasal cannula may be offered to young children with persistent OSAS following surgery, as a bridge until definitive therapy or if they are PAP intolerant. In conclusion, management of OSAS in the first 2 years of life is unique and requires consideration of comorbidities and clinical presentation along with PSG results for treatment decisions, and a multidisciplinary approach to treatment with medical and otolaryngology teams.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few data on alveolar hypoventilation in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) are available and the respiratory follow-up of these patients is not standardized. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of alveolar hypoventilation in children with PWS and identify potential risk factors. STUDY DESIGN This retrospective study included children with PWS recorded by polysomnography (PSG) with transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure (PtcCO2) or end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) measurements, between 2007 and 2021, in a tertiary hospital center. The primary outcome was the presence of alveolar hypoventilation defined as partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) ≥ 50 mmHg during ≥2% of total sleep time (TST) or more than five consecutive minutes. RESULTS Among the 57 included children (38 boys, median age 4.8 years, range 0.1-15.6, 60% treated with growth hormone [GH], 37% obese), 19 (33%) had moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (defined as obstructive apnea-hypopnea index ≥5/h) and 20 (35%) had hypoventilation. The median (range) pCO2 max was 49 mmHg (38-69). Among the children with hypoventilation, 25% were asymptomatic. Median age and GH treatment were significantly higher in children with hypoventilation compared to those without. There was no significant difference in terms of sex, BMI, obstructive or central apnea-hypopnea index between both groups. CONCLUSION The frequency of alveolar hypoventilation in children and adolescents with PWS is of concern and may increase with age and GH treatment. A regular screening by oximetry-capnography appears to be indicated whatever the sex, BMI, and rate of obstructive or central apneas.

Abstract
There has been increasing interest in utilizing volume assured pressure support (VAPS) modes of ventilation for children, which historically had only been favored in adult populations. In addition to patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome, newer pediatric populations for which it has recently been prescribed include congenital central hypoventilation syndrome and children with neuromuscular disease such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy. Given its expanding use in pediatrics, greater familiarity with VAPS is essential for pediatric pulmonologists and sleep physicians. This review article will highlight methods of initiation for this mode, specific ventilator settings, discussion of suitable pediatric patient populations, ventilator titrations via formal polysomnograms and detailed ventilator data downloads specific interpretation. Finally, common challenges to be aware of and how to troubleshoot relevant machine alarms will be reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES An increasing number of children with diverse medical conditions are using long-term noninvasive ventilation (NIV). This study examined the impact of demographic, clinical, and technology-related factors on long-term NIV adverse events in a large cohort of children using long-term NIV. METHODS This was a multicenter retrospective review of all children who initiated long-term NIV in the province of Alberta, Canada, from January 2005 to September 2014, and followed until December 2015. Inclusion criteria were children who had used NIV for 3 months or more and had at least one follow-up visit with the NIV programs. RESULTS We identified 507 children who initiated NIV at a median age of 7.5 (interquartile range: 8.6) years and 93% of them reported at least one NIV-related adverse event during the initial follow-up visit. Skin injury (20%) and unintentional air leaks (19%) were reported more frequently at the initial visit. Gastrointestinal symptoms, midface hypoplasia, increased drooling, aspiration and pneumothorax were rarely reported (<5%). Younger age and underlying conditions such as Down syndrome, achondroplasia, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy were early predictors of unintentional air leak. Younger age also predicted child sleep disruption in the short term and ongoing parental sleep disruption. Obesity was a risk factor for persistent nasal symptoms. Mask type was not a significant predictor for NIV-related short- or long-term complications. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that NIV-related complications are frequent. Appropriate mask-fitting and headgear adaptation, and a proactive approach to early detection may help to reduce adverse events.

A Diagnostic Challenge in an Adolescent with Collagen VI-Related Myopathy and Emotional Disorder-Case Report. J Pers Med 2023; 13:1577. [PMID: 38003892 PMCID: PMC10672723 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13111577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Collagen VI-related disorders constitute a spectrum of severities from the milder Bethlem myopathy (BM) to the Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD), which is more severe, and an intermediate form characterized by muscle weakness that begins in infancy. Affected children are able to walk, although walking becomes increasingly difficult starting in early adulthood. They develop contractures in the ankles, elbows, knees, and spine in childhood. In some affected cases, the respiratory muscles are weakened, requiring mechanical ventilation, particularly during sleep. Individuals with collagen VI-related myopathy are at risk of restrictive lung disease and sleep-disordered breathing due to the development of scoliosis associated with neuromuscular weakness. Typical signs of respiratory failure are not always present, and some patients are unaware that their respiratory muscles have become weaker. Here, we report a case of an intermediate form of collagen VI-related myopathy confirmed by next-generation sequencing. The girl presented morning headache, irritability, and aggressiveness, and because of these main symptoms, she was referred by the neurologist for respiratory evaluation. The result of spirometry was associated with hypoventilation shown during sleep studies, indicating the necessity to initiate home non-invasive ventilation (NIV) with immediate improvement in the symptoms. Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) have a great impact on sleep, but only very few studies evaluating sleep quality in young patients with collagen VI-related myopathy have been described. Daytime symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing may include irritability, emotional lability, and poor attentiveness, but these can be overseen by the severity of other complex medical problems in patients with collagen VI-related myopathy. We underline the importance of the close monitoring of respiratory function, sleep evaluation, and decision making to support the NIV treatment of other collagen VI-related myopathy variant-specific patients. Early recognition of sleep disturbances and initiation of respiratory support can preserve or enhance the quality of life for patients and their caregivers. Routine screening for identification of emotional distress should be instituted in the clinical practice using validated psychological measures in a multidisciplinary approach with different intervention strategies for both patient and parent when necessary.

Evaluation of polysomnography findings in children with genetic skeletal disorders. J Sleep Res 2023; 32:e13914.

Abstract
Children with genetic skeletal disorders have variable conditions that can lead to sleep-disordered breathing, and polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosing this condition. We aimed to review polysomnography findings, to assess the severity of sleep apnea, and to investigate the clinical variables predictive of sleep-disordered breathing in these patients. We retrospectively collected the medical records of patients with genetic skeletal disorders who underwent polysomnography for 5 years. Twenty-seven children with various genetic skeletal disorders, including achondroplasia (14), Crouzon syndrome (3), acromesomelic dysplasia Maroteaux type (3), Apert syndrome (2), osteopetrosis (1), Jeune dysplasia (1), Desbuquois dysplasia (1), acrodysostosis (1), and spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (1) were enrolled. The median age at the first polysomnography was 58 (1st-3rd quartile: 31-113) months. The overall sleep-disordered breathing results were: 19 (70.3%) had obstructive sleep apneas (OSA) (4 mild, 6 moderate, 9 severe), 2 (7.4%) had central apneas, 4 (14.8%) had nocturnal hypoventilation. There was a significant correlation between non-ambulatory status with both total AHI and OSA (p < 0.001, rho: -0.66/p = 0.04, rho: 0.38, respectively). Nine patients received positive airway pressure titration, and the oAHI values of all returned to the normal range. These patients were started with positive airway pressure treatment. Our cohort showed that the majority of the patients with skeletal dysplasia had sleep apnea syndrome characterised mainly by OSA, highlighting the importance of polysomnography screening for sleep disorders. Positive airway pressure therapy represents an effective treatment for sleep-disordered breathing in those patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Improving or maintaining the quality of life of the family of children treated with long term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a major concern; but studies are scarce. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of long term CPAP or NIV in children on anxiety, depression, quality of sleep, and quality of life of their parents. METHODS Validated questionnaires evaluating anxiety and depression (hospital anxiety and depression scale), sleep quality (Pittsburgh sleep quality index), daytime sleepiness (Epworth sleepiness scale), and parents' quality of life (PedsQL family impact module) were completed by parents of children who were started on CPAP/NIV before (M0) and after 6-9 months (M6) of treatment. RESULTS The questionnaires of 36 parents (30 mothers, 6 fathers) of 31 children were analyzed. For the entire group, no significant change was observed in anxiety, depression, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and quality of life between M0 and M6. When analyzing questionnaire class changes between M0 and M6: anxiety was relieved in 23% of parents and worsened in 29%, depression was relieved in 14% and worsened in 20%, sleep quality improved in 43% and worsened in 27%, sleepiness improved in 26% and worsened in 17%, with no change in the other parents. CONCLUSION Long term CPAP/NIV in children had no significant effect on parents' anxiety, depression, sleep quality, and quality of life.

Abstract
Long-term non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is an accepted therapy for sleep-related respiratory disorders and respiratory insufficiency or failure. Increase in the use of long-term NIV may, in part, be driven by an increase in the number of children surviving critical illness with comorbidities. As a result, some children start on long-term NIV as part of transitioning from hospital to home. NIV may be used in acute illness to avoid intubation, facilitate extubation or support tracheostomy decannulation, and to avoid the need for a tracheostomy for long-term invasive ventilation. The decision about whether long-term NIV is appropriate for an individual child and their family needs to be made with care. Preparing for transition from the hospital to home involves understanding how NIV equipment is obtained and set-up, education and training for parents/caregivers, and arranging a plan for clinical follow-up. While planning for these transitions is challenging, the goals of a shorter time in hospital and a child living well at home with their family are important.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory failure is a significant concern in neuromuscular diseases (NMDs). This CHEST guideline examines the literature on the respiratory management of patients with NMD to provide evidence-based recommendations. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS An expert panel conducted a systematic review addressing the respiratory management of NMD and applied the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations approach for assessing the certainty of the evidence and formulating and grading recommendations. A modified Delphi technique was used to reach a consensus on the recommendations. RESULTS Based on 128 studies, the panel generated 15 graded recommendations, one good practice statement, and one consensus-based statement. INTERPRETATION Evidence of best practices for respiratory management in NMD is limited and is based primarily on observational data in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The panel found that pulmonary function testing every 6 months may be beneficial and may be used to initiate noninvasive ventilation (NIV) when clinically indicated. An individualized approach to NIV settings may benefit patients with chronic respiratory failure and sleep-disordered breathing related to NMD. When resources allow, polysomnography or overnight oximetry can help to guide the initiation of NIV. The panel provided guidelines for mouthpiece ventilation, transition to home mechanical ventilation, salivary secretion management, and airway clearance therapies. The guideline panel emphasizes that NMD pathologic characteristics represent a diverse group of disorders with differing rates of decline in lung function. The clinician's role is to add evaluation at the bedside to shared decision-making with patients and families, including respect for patient preferences and treatment goals, considerations of quality of life, and appropriate use of available resources in decision-making.

Abstract
There are no validated criteria to initiate noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in children and young adults with neuromuscular disease (NMD). In order to analyze NIV initiation criteria, we reviewed the polysomnography (PSG) criteria that led to the initiation of NIV in 61 consecutive patients with NMD, median age 4.1 (0.8-21) years, who had a PSG during their routine care. NIV was initiated on abnormal PSG data (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) > 10 events/h and/or a transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure > 50 mmHg and/or a pulse oximetry 〈 90%, both during at least 2% sleep time or 〉 5 consecutive minutes) in 11 (18%) patients. Six of these 11 patients had an AHI ≤ 10 events/h and would not have been ventilated if only AHI was retained. However, one of these 6 patients had isolated nocturnal hypoxemia, 3 isolated nocturnal hypercapnia and 2 abnormal respiratory events. Six (10%) patients with a normal PSG were started on NIV on clinical criteria. Our results show the limitation of the AHI when taken as the unique PSG criterion for NIV initiation in young patients with NMD and underline the need to include also abnormalities of overnight gas exchange into the NIV decision-making process.

Predicting hypercapnia and hypoxia by the ventilator's built-in software in children on long-term non-invasive ventilation: A pilot study. Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1158396. [PMID: 37168806 PMCID: PMC10166201 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1158396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Follow-up of children on long-term non-invasive ventilation (NIV) could be improved by telemonitoring, using the ventilator's built-in software (BIS) parameters as alternative for in-hospital sleep studies to reduce costs, enhance patient independence and contribute to early detection of infections. This pilot study investigated whether analysis of BIS parameters can predict abnormal nocturnal transcutaneous CO2 (TcCO2) and saturation (SpO2) measurements in children on long-term NIV. Methods Children on long-term NIV in follow-up at the Antwerp University Hospital were retrospectively included. Nocturnal TcCO2 and SpO2 measurements were collected together with BIS parameters at three different time points: the night of the sleep study (BIS1), mean values from 48 h (BIS2) and 72 h (BIS3) before the sleep study. Predictions were calculated for following outcome measures: % recording time TcCO2 > 46.9 mmHg (%RT TcCO2; abnormal if ≥2%), recording time SpO2 < 93% (RT SpO2; abnormal if >1 h), abnormal TcCO2 or SpO2, mean TcCO2, mean SpO2. Results 69 patients were included. %RT TcCO2 was separately predicted by reached tidal volume2 [OR 0.97 (0.93; 1.00); p = 0.051; AUC = 30%] and reached IPAP1 [OR 1.05 (1.00; 1.10); p = 0.050; AUC = 66%]. Leak1 predicted RT SpO2 [OR 1.21 (1.02; 1.43); p = 0.025; AUC = 84%]. Mean TcCO2 correlated with reached tidal volume2 (R2 0.10, p = 0.033). Discussion Certain BIS parameters can predict nocturnal hypercapnia and desaturation in children on long-term NIV. Future studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to further investigate the predictive value of the identified BIS parameters.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to describe the characteristics of children with neuromuscular diseases treated with long term noninvasive ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure in France. On June 1st 2019, 387 patients (63% boys, mean age 11.2 ± 5.5 years) were treated with long term noninvasive ventilation/continuous positive airway pressure. Thirty three percent of patients had spinal muscular atrophy, 30% congenital myopathy/dystrophy, 20% Duchenne muscular dystrophy, 7% Steinert myotonic dystrophy, and 9% other neuromuscular diseases. Ninety-four percent of patients were treated with long term noninvasive ventilation and 6% with continuous positive airway pressure. Treatment was initiated electively for 85% of patients, mainly on an abnormal overnight gas exchange recording (38% of patients). Noninvasive ventilation/continuous positive airway pressure was initiated during a respiratory exacerbation in 15% of patients. Mean duration of noninvasive ventilation/continuous positive airway pressure was 3.3 ± 3.1 years. Mean objective long term noninvasive ventilation/continuous positive airway pressure use was 8.0 ± 3.1 h/24. Spinal muscular atrophy, congenital myopathy/dystrophy, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy represented 83% of children with neuromuscular diseases treated with long term noninvasive ventilation in France. Screening for nocturnal hypoventilation was satisfactory as noninvasive ventilation /continuous positive airway pressure was predominantly initiated electively.

Abstract
Average volume assured pressure support (AVAPS) is a modality of non-invasive ventilation that enables the machine to deliver a pre-set tidal volume by adjusting the inspiratory pressure support within a set range. Data on its use in the pediatric population are limited to case reports and single centre case series. This article reviews paediatric data on use of AVAPS and highlights the need for validation to help develop specific guidelines on use of AVAPS in children.
