Remote Patient Monitoring for Ventilator Weaning
(HOMVent4Kids Trial)
Trial Summary
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It focuses on monitoring and adjusting ventilator settings for children using home breathing machines.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Remote patient monitoring (RPM) bundle, Telehealth Monitoring, Home Health Monitoring, Remote Health Monitoring?
Research shows that remote patient monitoring (RPM) has improved medical outcomes and care management for chronic conditions like heart failure, and it helps patients manage their health better at home. This suggests that RPM could also be effective for ventilator weaning by providing continuous care and monitoring outside of a hospital setting.12345
Is remote patient monitoring generally safe for humans?
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) has been used safely for managing various chronic conditions like heart failure and diabetes, allowing patients to receive care at home. While the studies focus on effectiveness and patient satisfaction, they imply that RPM is a safe method for continuous health monitoring.12367
How does remote patient monitoring for ventilator weaning differ from other treatments?
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) for ventilator weaning is unique because it allows continuous care and monitoring of patients in their homes, rather than in a hospital setting. This approach can improve patient engagement and outcomes by using technology to track health data and facilitate communication with healthcare providers, which is different from traditional in-person monitoring methods.12368
What is the purpose of this trial?
Some children who are born very early or have other congenital conditions may develop severe, long-term lung problems that make them need to use a breathing machine to live at home. There are no studies that identify the best ways to monitor a home breathing machine or adjust its settings. Increasingly, healthcare systems are using information collected at home to make more informed decisions about a patient's healthcare treatment, which is called "remote patient monitoring". This study will ask whether using remote patient monitoring can provide more complete information to a child's team of doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists to help a child's healthcare team and family make more informed decisions about a child's home ventilator care. The investigators are hypothesizing it can safely decrease the level of breathing support children need while also avoiding emergency and hospital care and supporting their growth, development, and participation in daily life.

Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for children aged 0-17 who need a ventilator at home and have a caregiver trained in its use. The child must not be off ventilation during the day or turning 18 soon. They shouldn't be moving, transitioning care, in end-of-life care, or have conditions that don't allow reduced support.Inclusion Criteria
