multidisciplinary clinics
airway management
The Airway Management Clinic at Dayton Children's provides ongoing care for children with airway conditions, particularly those who have a tracheostomy. These conditions can include stenosis of the larynx and subglottic region, bronchomalacia, laryngomalacia, stridor and many others. In the past, children and families may have had to drive one or more hours to receive the specialty care provided in the Dayton Children’s Airway Management Clinic.
aerodigestive
The Aerodigestive Clinic at Dayton Children’s is designed for chronically ill children with disorders of the upper airway, lungs and upper digestive tract, including sleep and feeding problems. Patients come to our center to meet with multiple specialists, including ENT, a pulmonologist and gastroenterologist. By evaluating your child’s condition together, the physicians can develop an understanding of his or her overall health and what kind of therapy is needed. This coordination of care is essential to your child’s well-being, since children who come to the center often have more than one disorder.
sleep
The pediatric sleep center is one of a few centers in the country accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The sleep clinic is supervised by a physician board certified in sleep medicine, employs a fully credentialed polysomnographic technologist, and has access to a wide range of pediatric subspecialists. Depending on your child’s symptoms and conditions our physicians might order a sleep study. They will work closely with the sleep experts to determine any issues your child might be having and how it might be effecting their sleep.
