Prevalence, management, health-care burden, and 90-day outcomes of prolonged mechanical ventilation in the paediatric intensive care unit (LongVentKids): an international, prospective, cross-sectional cohort study
Timing of tracheostomy was variable, and duration of MV was longer than previously reported. The large variability in patients requiring MV and the associated health-care burden and outcomes across PICUs suggest that further investigation of the factors influencing the care of children with MV is warranted.
