C03: Pediatric Sleep Medicine Clinical
Challenges: Who, What, When, How and Why
Saturday, May 31, 2014
8:00am – 12:00pm
Member Fee: $85
Nonmember Fee: $150
During this half-day course, attendees will be presented with
a comprehensive review of current evidence-based diagnostic
and treatment strategies for challenging and complex sleep/
wake problems in neonates, infants and children. Topics
include: neonatal/infant polysomnography, symptomatic central
hypersomnias, circadian rhythm asynchrony, residual pediatric
sleep apnea following adenotonsillectomy and refractory
insomnias in children with neuropsychiatric comorbidities.
Co-chairs:
Madeleine Grigg-Damberger, MD; and Sanjeev
Kothare, MD
Faculty:
Eliot Katz, MD; and Daniel Lewin, PhD
Psychologist Level of Content:
Intermediate
Target Audience:
Clinicians, including psychologists,
researchers, and other health care providers interested in
pediatric sleep medicine
Learning Objectives:
1. Explain when and why there are requests for sleep
studies in neonates and very young infants and how we
need different rules and normative values for scoring
sleep, respiratory, cardiac and movement events;
2. Describe which diagnostic and treatment strategies
to consider for an infant or young child with residual
symptomatic pediatric obstructive sleep apnea following
adenotonsillectomy including positive airway pressure
and oral appliances;
3. Recognize, diagnose and treat uncommon causes
of symptomatic central hypersomnia and circadian
rhythm asynchrony in children or adolescents with
craniopharyngiomas, cancer chemotherapy, myotonic
dystrophy type 1, Neimann-Pick type C and NMDA
receptors; and
4. Review diagnostic and treatment strategies for refractory
pediatric behavioral insomnia in children or adolescents
with intellectual disability, neurodevelopmental
syndromes and neuropsychiatric comorbidities.
C04: Video-Polysomnographic Evaluation
(Diagnosis and Scoring) of Sleep Related
Movement Disorders
Saturday, May 31, 2014
8:00am – 12:00pm
Member Fee: $85
Nonmember Fee: $150
Learn the basics of sleep related movement disorders
(SRMD), including REM sleep behavior disorder from this
video-polysomnographic practical session. Participants
will receive the basic knowledge necessary to record,
recognize, score and interpret frequent SRMD such as
PLM, bruxism and RBD, without omitting less frequent
disorders such as propriospinal myoclonus, neck
myoclonus, muscular cramps and rhythmic movement
disorders.
Co-chairs:
Raffaele Ferri, MD; and Mauro Manconi, MD,
PhD
Faculty:
Lynn Marie Trotti, MD
Psychologist Level of Content:
Introductory
Target Audience:
Clinicians, including psychologists, and
other health care providers looking for a fresh update to
recognizing and scoring sleep related movement disorders
(SRMD)
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe how to obtain video-polysomnographic
recordings of good technical quality;
2. Recognize, score and interpret the most important
sleep related movement disorders; and
3. Improve techniques related to the basic post-
processing analysis of periodic limb movements and
chin EMG activity.
