ERS statement on paediatric long-term noninvasive respiratory support
Fauroux, Brigitte; Abel, François; Amaddeo, Alessandro; Bignamini, Elisabetta; Chan, Elaine; Corel, Linda; Cutrera, Renato; Ersu, RefikaLong-term noninvasive respiratory support, comprising continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and noninvasive ventilation (NIV), in children is expanding worldwide, with increasing complexities of children being considered for this type of ventilator support and expanding indications such as palliative care. There have been improvements in equipment and interfaces. Despite growing experience, there are still...
Interfaces, circuits and humidifiers
Ferreira, RosarioLong-term non-invasive ventilation (LTNIV) has been increasingly used in children to manage chronic respiratory failure and airway obstruction. Interfaces are of paramount importance for non-invasive ventilation (NIV) effectiveness and patient compliance. However, historically, the choice of pediatric mask has been limited by the scarce availability of commercial interfaces. In recent years, an increasing numbe...

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of maternal education on the development of infants' sleep habits (SHs). Methods: This was an experimental, longitudinal study. Postnatal mothers were allocated into two groups: to receive (intervention group, IG), or not receive ...
Nocturnal oximetry-based evaluation of habitually snoring children
Hornero, Roberto; Kheirandish-Gozal, Leila; Gutiérrez-Tobal, Gonzalo C.; Philby, Mona F.; Alonso-Álvarez, María Luz; Álvarez, Daniel; Dayyat, Ehab A.Rationale: The vast majority of children around the world undergoing adenotonsillectomy for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSA) are not objectively diagnosed by nocturnal polysomnography because of access availability and cost issues. Automated analysis of nocturnal oximetry (nSpO2), which is readily and globally available, could potentially provide a reliable and convenient diagnostic approach for ...
