Home Ventilation for Children in Oman, Are We Prepared for this New Reality?
Journal Title: Oman Medical Journal - Year 2019, Vol 34, Issue 5
Abstract
Transitioning the complex care of children with different chronic disorders to their home environment has gained significant interest over the past three decades. The high cost of prolonged hospital stay, both financially and socially on families, necessitated this transition. Children who need long-term ventilation support, both invasively via tracheostomy or non-invasively (NIV), are a major group that requires such care.
