Helping parents decide about home breathing machines
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study helps parents like you who are deciding whether their child should have a breathing machine at home. You'll use a website or get support by phone to learn about your options and share what matters most to your family, so doctors and families can make better choices together.

This study looks at how children use breathing support devices at home. The goal is to better understand what types of devices are used and how they help children and families.
This trial tests a computer “decision support” tool to help the care team manage treatment for children with PARDS who are just starting a breathing machine. It may help clinicians choose care steps and potentially support safer, more effective breathing management during the first days of ventilation.
This trial offers nurse-led home visits and phone support to help parents manage symptoms for children who need breathing assistance (like oxygen or a ventilator). It aims to make daily care easier and improve your child's comfort.
This study tests whether a computer “decision support” tool can help doctors safely reduce how long a child stays on a breathing machine after heart surgery. It may help children get off mechanical ventilation sooner and recover faster.
This study tests whether using a remote monitoring system (telemonitoring) helps people adjust better to a new home ventilator. It is for people with long-term breathing problems who are starting a ventilator for the first time.
This study checks how sleep and overall quality of life change for children who use non-invasive breathing support at home. It also uses questionnaires to understand what helps or harms sleep and daily comfort so families and care teams can improve support.
