Pulmonary Care of Children and Adolescents with Developmental Disabilities
چکیده انگلیسی

Caring for children and adolescents with developmental disabilities is challenging because of their susceptibility to varying degrees of respiratory morbidity and mortality. This article discusses the common pulmonary problems affecting children with developmental disabilities. Topics to be discussed include gastroesophageal reflux, drooling, and dysphagia and their relation to aspiration and aspiration pneumonia, upper airway obstruction and obstructive sleep apnea, and the role of airway clearance. Case studies are used to introduce a discussion of the underlying etiology, currently accepted methods to evaluate the conditions, and evidence-based treatment options. The goal of managing these problems is to use anticipatory guidance when possible and choose therapies that improve the child's quality of life with minimal side effects.
