Discussion in this paper is drawn from the literature examining the management of children with long-term assisted ventilation, and a study of parents' experiences and views of caring for their ventilator-dependent child at home. Difficulties in undertaking research into this group of children are highlighted. Recommendations are proposed regarding future multidisciplinary, multiagency service development in order to meet the needs of ventilator-dependent children and their families.
