      Treatment options for children

      The appropriate treatment option for your child depends on his or her underlying condition and its severity. In all cases, your care provider will evaluate and determine the most appropriate treatment for your child.

      Noninvasive treatment options

      Noninvasive ventilation doesn't require surgery. Instead, pressurized air is delivered from a small machine that sits on the bedside table, to a mask that your child wears over their mouth and/or nose. Your child only needs to wear the mask while treatment is being delivered, so he or she can take it off to eat, play and talk during the day. Because this treatment option is noninvasive, there's also less risk of infection (compared to some alternative treatments, such as tracheostomy). If you have any issues with using the equipment, please speak to your care provider.
