General Overview of Respiratory Pathologies in Trisomy 21

CHAPTER OUTLINE

1- General overview

2- Non-Infectious Respiratory Pathologies of the Upper Airways

3- Non-Infectious Pathologies of the Lungs and Lower Airways

4- Infectious Respiratory Pathologies of the Upper Airways

5- Lower respiratory tract infections

6- Preventing respiratory tract infections

7- Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

8- Central Sleep Apnea, Alveolar Hypoventilation, and Hypoxemia

9- Pulmonary Hemosiderosis and Mucoviscidosis

Respiratory pathologies are the leading cause of hospitalization and the second biggest cause of mortality in all age groups of patients with trisomy 21!

In this video and accompanying technical sheet, Dr. Hervé Walti, a pediatrician at the Jérôme Lejeune Institute, provides a general overview of these pathologies. He gives a reminder of the main risk factors, explains their morbidity and mortality, emphasizes the diversity of clinical presentation, and the influence of other comorbidities. Lastly, he presents the general outline of the section on respiratory pathologies in patients with trisomy 21.

Discover below the presentation associated with this video on the subject of “infectious respiratory pathologies of the lower airways”.
