Going home: Clinician perspectives on decision-making in paediatric home mechanical ventilation.
Juliette JeffreysMayukh RahmanDanya VearsR John H MassiePublished in: Journal of paediatrics and child health (2023)
These findings provide insight into how clinicians working with children with chronic respiratory insufficiency approach the decision to introduce home-based ventilation. By understanding their role, strategies can be developed to assist them, leading to better outcomes for patients and families. Further research is needed to compare the perspectives of clinicians with the experience of ventilator-assisted children and families in Australia.
