Sleep Disorders
Conditions and Services
When it comes to babies and breathing, Children's apnea program covers it all. Through both inpatient and outpatient care, we diagnose breathing conditions, coordinate further testing if needed and outline a plan of care tailored to each child. And we do this using sophisticated pulmonary technology that is specially created for tiny lungs and fragile little ones.
Apnea Program
Moms and dads who check on their babies at 3 a.m. to make sure they are breathing is nothing new. Welcome to parenthood, where being cautious is the norm. But when babies have a condition called apnea, which is a pause in breathing that can last for more than 20 seconds, careful monitoring of a child becomes critically important.
