A good night's sleep is critical to the health and well being of children, but undiagnosed or untreated obstructive sleep apnea can prevent kids from getting much needed rest and is associated with cardiovascular complications, impaired growth, learning problems, and behavioral problems. In this episode of Precision, Drs. Saied Ghadersohi and Taher Valika discuss the importance of sleep for children and the impact of obstructive sleep disordered breathing, which affects nearly 5 percent of the youth population in the United States. They offer advice to parents and share insights on advanced treatments at Lurie Children's Hospital which are helping kids get the rest they need.
