Sleep apnea affects children by ruining their sleep and leaving them exhausted during the day. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is one way to treat it, using an oxygen mask to hold the blocked airways open during the night and leading to improved rest. But many children find it difficult to understand why they need to wear a breathing mask in bed and how exactly it helps them sleep better.

With this in mind, Dr. Kim Chilman-Blair and Dr. Kate Hersov teamed up with a leading graphic novel artist to create a series of comic books explaining health conditions to young people from a medical viewpoint. Each comic is written by doctors and peer-reviewed by leading specialists in each respective therapy area. Medikidz is a resource designed to educate not only young patients, peers and their parents, but also to aid practitioners and educators in explaining health conditions as effectively as possible.

The books follow a team of five larger than life superheroes from outer space. The Medikidz each specialise in explaining a different part of the body. The Medikidz Explain CPAP is a great way to educate children about the medical facts about their treatment.

SYNOPSIS:

The Medikidz, superheroes on a medical mission, have taken Jen up to their home planet to tell her everything she needs to know about CPAP. Join them and their friend the Sleep Doctor as they lead her through all the details of her new treatment, including how it works, what to expect and why it's so useful in treating her sleep apnea!
