Özet

The management of surgical problems in children on home invasive mechanical ventilation (HIMV) requires a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. HIMV is a critical intervention for children with chronic respiratory failure, as it allows them to live at home with their families while receiving life-sustaining ventilatory support. However, the long-term use of HIMV exposes these children to potential surgical complications related to their underlying conditions, tracheostomy tubes, ventilator devices, and gastrostomy tubes for enteral feeding. This manuscript aims to provide a detailed overview of the identification and recognition of surgical problems in children on HIMV, as well as strategies to solve these problems effectively.
