Looking Beyond the Mouth: Becoming Wildly Successful in the Practice of Pediatric Airway/SRBD

Airway Health Solutions Pediatric Next Level Course with Dr. Susan Maples

Approximately 26% of adults have sleep-related breathing disorders such as UARS and OSA and

we now know it’s mostly preventable. This course will teach you how to recognize risk factors and the progression of Sleep Related Breathing Disorders (SRBD) at every age.

Next you will learn how to offer treatment strategies to improve the health trajectory of kids with existing airway disorders. To have an airway supportive practice you will also need team development, parent communication skills, case acceptance and new ideas to get kids invested in their own best outcomes.

You will also want to cultivate an interdisciplinary team of medical professionals in your community. This course will leave you inspired to become wildly successful in your pediatric airway journey.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Current trends review in disease identification and treatment strategies

  1. Apply insights from adult OSA to predict and preempt sleep disordered breathing in children

  2. Perform infant and periodic oral health exams using everyday measurable indicators

  3. Implement a pediatric health history and screening approach focused on airway risk

  4. Describe current pediatric orthodontic, orthopedic, and myofunctional treatment strategies

Addressing unseen root causes of sleep disordered breathing and abnormal facial growth

  1. Identify treatment strategies for allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders that contribute to sleep disordered breathing

  2. Recognize the role of pediatric obesity in airway health and craniofacial development

  3. Evaluate home sleep environments and daily habits that influence airway function

  • Engage children directly in treatment conversations to improve outcomes

  • Apply hands on techniques that reinforce learning and patient participation

  • Guide patients from compliance to full commitment through motivational strategies

  • Explore language to unpack the complexity Sleep Apnea’s severity metrics: AHI, RDI, REI, the many definitions of hypopnea, obstructive vs central sleep apnea.

  • Recognize the nuanced language that goes into the discussion of individual risk associated with Sleep Apnea and know how to collaboratively apply this language with your patients.

  • Comprehend the complexity of the underlying pathophysiology of Sleep Apnea, by breaking apart the “many moving parts” of obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea and seeing how they relate to one another.

  • Implement a patient-centered approach to understand and clarify a patient's sleep-wake complaints by establishing their narrative.

  • Comprehend and critically evaluate the many different testing options for the diagnosis of Sleep Apnea,

  • Comprehend and critically evaluate the many different options available for the treatment of Sleep Apnea, including a discussion of emerging options, like INSPIRE and EXCITE.

  • Comprehend and clinically integrate basic science concepts of the regulation of sleep-wake signaling (an introduction to the Two Process Model). This objective will include a practical working knowledge of the complexity sensemaking tool: The Circadian Rhythmo-Wheel.

  • Identify and triage common complications of therapy, including positive airway pressure toxicity, Willis Ekbom Disease (“restless legs syndrome”) and treatment emergent central sleep apnea.

  • Apply the patient-centered collaborative complexity sensemaking tool, the "Five Finger Approach," to unpack nonspecific sleep-wake complaints.

  • Deploy strategies of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi), such as proactive wind-down time, sleep restriction therapy, stimulus control therapy, and chronotherapy.

Join us on this transformative journey to enhance your knowledge, skills, and impact on the lives of children. Together, we can make a lasting difference in their health and well-being
