Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children: An Evidence-Based, Multidisciplinary Approach provides researchers and practitioners with a complete and comprehensive source of information on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management and controversies concerning sleep disordered breathing in infants. Written by an interdisciplinary team of authors, chapters consolidate information on the evaluation and management of pediatric sleep disordered breathing (SDB) currently fragmented across different specialties.
Principles of surgery for SDB as well as non-medical approaches, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are covered, and a section dedicated to controversies in pediatric SDB discusses clinical cases and future trends for the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea in children.

Amal Isaiah
Dr Isaiah earned a medical degree in India with multiple honors and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to read for a DPhil (PhD) in Neuroscience at University of Oxford. During doctoral training, he studied brain plasticity using electrophysiological, statistical, computational, and behavioral techniques. Following postdoctoral training, residency in otolaryngology and a clinical fellowship in pediatric otolaryngology, he joined the faculty at University of Maryland in September 2016. His principal areas of interest are sleep disordered breathing (SDB), brain development, and statistical modeling. He has received the Charles Ferguson Award for clinical research from the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology, the Mentor Award for transformative impact on medical students interested in research and was a featured Early Career Investigator by the journal Pediatric Research. He is also a co-investigator in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, the largest study of brain development in children. He participated in a writing group for pediatric SDB and cardiovascular disease commissioned by the American Heart Association. He has a robust clinical practice and has performed both cross-sectional and prospective studies related to SDB. His work has received extensive media coverage, including a recent paper in Nature Communications on the association between SDB and brain outcomes, which received worldwide attention.

Ron B. Mitchell
Dr. Mitchell earned his medical degree at the University of Southampton in England. He completed residencies in general surgery and otolaryngology at the Royal College of Surgeons of England and then received advanced training in pediatric otolaryngology through a fellowship at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis.
Certified by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and the American Board of Otolaryngology, Dr. Mitchell joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 2011. In addition to his roles at UT Southwestern, he also serves as head of the Sleep Disorders Center at Children’s Medical Center.
Dr. Mitchell is currently the president of the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology and is actively involved in his profession’s national leadership, chairing multiple committees including a recent task force of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAOHNS) that published Clinical Practice Guideline: Tonsillectomy in Children (Update). He previously chaired a committee that published a consensus document about the optimal care of patients with a tracheostomy.
Dr. Mitchell edits four otolaryngology journals and serves as a peer reviewer for 11 more. He has also published dozens of peer-reviewed papers, as well as many book chapters and three books on pediatric otolaryngology. A highly respected educator, he has delivered lectures on pediatric otolaryngology and pediatric sleep medicine across the United States as well as in Israel, Panama, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico.
