New survey reveals why some kids need Long-Term ventilators
NCT ID NCT04511741
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 346 children who needed a breathing machine (ventilator) for a long time. Researchers recorded the reasons they needed it, such as nerve or muscle diseases, airway problems, or brain conditions. They also tracked how long the children stayed on the ventilator and how many survived. This was an observational study, meaning no new treatment was tested.
