The number of children with complex physical and developmental pathologies, including chronic respiratory insufficiency, surviving and growing beyond early childhood continues to rise. No study has examined the clinical pathway of children on invasive long-term mechanical ventilation (LTMV) in an Irish setting. Our data over a 10-year period were reviewed to see if our demographics and outcomes are in line with global trends.
