Sleep and Breathing in Children, Second Edition: Developmental Changes in Breathing During Sleep Series: Lung Biology in Health and Disease

Infants and children spend one- to two-thirds of their life asleep. Despite this, very little attention has been paid to understanding both normal sleep and sleep-related abnormalities during child development. This volume explores breathing during sleep, its changes with development (from the fetus onwards), and the pathophysiology of sleep-related breathing disorders.
