Abstrakt: Background: Children utilizing invasive home mechanical ventilation (administered via tracheostomy tube) receive intensive care at home without the support of trained staff typically present in an intensive care unit; within the context of worsening home nursing shortages, much of the 24/7 care burden falls to families which are likely under supported. Prior reviews have explored the quality of life of children receiving various forms of mechanical ventilation, without addressing the impact on the family. Additionally, the literature inconsistently differentiates the unique experience of families with children using invasive home mechanical ventilation from non-invasive, which has lower morbidity and mortality and requires less nursing care in the home. Therefore, our study aims to explore and map the existing literature regarding the impact of invasive home mechanical ventilation on the child and family's quality of life. Identified gaps will inform future research focused on improving the family quality of life of children with invasive home mechanical ventilation.
Methods: Five databases will be searched using keywords and controlled vocabulary to identify relevant studies: Ovid Medline, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. English language studies will meet inclusion criteria if they include primary research studies of children or families of children utilizing invasive home mechanical ventilation at home and assess quality of life. Children and young adults aged 0-25 years will be included. We exclude studies of hospitalized children, studies focused solely on healthcare professional experiences or clinical outcomes, and those focused on the period surrounding discharge from admission for tracheostomy placement. Two independent reviewers will screen studies at the title/abstract and full-text levels. Two independent reviewers will extract data from relevant studies. Disagreements will be resolved by an independent third reviewer. A targeted grey literature search will be performed utilizing ProQuest, clinicaltrials.gov, WHO trial registry, Google Scholar, and professional societies. Findings will be presented in tables and figures along with a narrative summary.
Discussion: This scoping review seeks to map the literature and provide a descriptive report of the health-related quality of life of children using invasive home mechanical ventilation and their families.
