Introduction
Studies assessing the duration of mechanical ventilation in the Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) have shown that majority of children are mechanically ventilated only for a short period. Scientific advances, population growth, lower mortality, and increasing morbidity have boosted up the number of patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) in the recent critical care practice. Evidence suggests that there is a small group of children who use a high level of resources and it may be appropriate to investigate whether their care could be provided in an adapted setting.
