The Johns Hopkins Pediatric Sleep Center at MWPH
The Johns Hopkins Pediatric Sleep Center at Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital is pleased to offer comprehensive evaluation and care for children with sleep-disordered breathing including children with:
- Snoring and suspected obstructive sleep apnea
- Known obstructive sleep apnea requiring CPAP or BiPAP therapy
- Suspected sleep-related respiratory failure or apnea related to neuromuscular disease such as muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy
- Conditions that increase the risk of sleepdisordered breathing such as obesity, Down syndrome and achondroplasia.
A Full Range of Care:
The center has a multi bed state of the art sleep laboratory that operates seven days a week. Our laboratory is dedicated to the care of pediatric patients with highly trained technicians and child-friendly rooms. Each room contains a second bed for a caregiver to spend the night with the child.
If you would like to order a sleep study to evaluate your patient for obstructive sleep apnea without evaluation in our clinic please call our partners at Sleep Services of America at 410-691-3531 or 410-691-3994 with questions.
To assure that the most appropriate study is done in the laboratory it is required that children with the following be seen in clinic prior to a sleep study:
- Children under the age of 1 year
- Children with complex medical issues
- Children with behavioral issues that may make having a sleep study difficult
- Children on oxygen, ventilators, with a tracheotomy, on CPAP or BiPAP.
