Description
Summary:In recent decades, the patient survival is increased due to advances in intensive care units and development of modern mechanic ventilators. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to wean these children from mechanical ventilation. Recently, after placement a tracheostomy tube, these children can be supported at home with noninvasive or invasive mechanical ventilation. Most of the children who need ventilation support at home have neurological impairment. The nutritional issues and gastrointestinal (GI) complications are well defined in critically ill patients, but there are very limited studies on children with tracheostomy. Considering that majority of the patients have neuromuscular disorders, the nutritional and GI problems of the children with tracheostomy are discussed in light of the knowledge of critically ill patients.
