Summary

Home respiratory support for children, including continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV), is increasing. Most children improve, but planning is needed for this growing trend.

Report (U.S. Naval Medical Research Laboratory)·2014

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Home Healthcare

Background:

  • Home respiratory support for children has become more common.
  • The Starship Children's Hospital Respiratory Service manages children requiring ventilatory support.
  • Understanding trends and outcomes is crucial for resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends in home respiratory support for children.
  • To describe disease categories, intervention success, and outcomes.
  • To evaluate the use of CPAP, NIV, and invasive ventilatory support (IVS).

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of respiratory service records from 1991 to 2004.
  • Analysis of 160 children initiated on home CPAP, NIV, or IVS.

  • Categorization of indications, support types, and outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • 160 children received home respiratory support; 69 remain under active management.
    • Non-invasive support (CPAP/NIV) was most common (97%).
    • Support failed in 11% of cases; 57% discontinued due to medical improvement.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a clear increasing trend in pediatric home respiratory support.
    • Respiratory parenchymal/airway and neuromuscular diseases are primary indications.
    • Future planning and resources are essential to meet rising demand.
