Dr. Dassani talks about pediatric sleep apnea, who is at greatest risk, and what parents need to be on the lookout for in order to protect their children – especially in a post-pandemic world.
Approximately 5.9 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, yet a staggering 23.5 million people are living with undiagnosed cases of moderate to severe OSA.
With a respiratory disease gripping the planet, timing has never been more urgent for parents to be on the lookout for signs for signs of in their child, get a proper diagnosis, and take appropriate next steps to keep their family safe. We talk to Dr. Dassani about signs to lookout for including:
Bed wetting
Sleep terrors
Snorting, coughing or choking
Pauses in breathing
Poor weight gain
Behavioral problems
Hyperactivity
If left unchecked possible complications later in life such as heart disease, failure to grow, and even death are risks that lay before children with OSA.
Dr. Dassani is passionate about helping patients with sleep disordered breathing get the treatment they need to live healthier, happier lives. Throughout Dr. Dassani’s career, she has gained invaluable insight into what it takes to implement those services and currently shares her knowledge and experience in her role as an international speaker and a dental practice in Houston. Her new book, AIRWAY IS LIFE: Clearing the Air About Sleep Apnea, will be available in February 2021
