Key Points

Collaborative generalist and subspecialist comanagement is the Medical Home model most likely to be successful for the care of children requiring chronic invasive ventilation.

An awake, trained caregiver should be present at all times, and at least two family caregivers should be trained specifically for the child’s care.

Home equipment requires proper maintenance of all equipment and regular review of ventilator settings.
