Investigating ventilation practices in critically ill children

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This international observational study aims to explore current ventilation practices in critically ill pediatric patients across various pediatric intensive care units. It will collect detailed data on ventilatory support, including duration, ICU stay, and mortality rates, over a span of 10 years. The study seeks to identify modifiable factors related to ventilation that may influence patient outcomes, addressing a significant gap in knowledge as much of the existing data is derived from adult patient experiences. Data will be gathered during specific 4-week periods each year, with flexibility for centers to opt out as needed.
