Kids & CPAP
CPAP - Not Just for Adults
When we think of CPAP machine as a treatment for Sleep Apnea, often a vision of a middle-aged man comes to mind; however, kids use CPAP too.
At Canyon Sleep, our youngest patient being successfully treated for their Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is 18 months old. You must be aware of the possibility of mid-face hypoplasia where the pressure of the mask changes the way in which the face grows. However, with expert care this can be avoided.
We encourage you to watch this great informational video developed for kids about CPAP for some great tips.
Remember: CPAP is not the only option for OSA in your child.
We are happy to see your child for their sleep disordered breathing, to discuss other options , and support your family in this journey.
