Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on children who rely on long-term mechanical ventilation (LTMV) and explores their journey toward being weaned off the ventilator, with a focus on identifying potential early predictors for successful liberation.
  • The research involved a retrospective analysis of 78 patients who started chronic ventilator support before 12 months of age and looked at various factors, including age at tracheostomy and hospital discharge.
