2012, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Pulmonary complications are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for children during both the acute and the chronic phase of SCI (DeVivo et al., 1999; Padman et al., 2003; Porth, 2004). Those with high cervical lesions usually require lifelong ventilatory support or phrenic nerve or diaphragmatic pacing (Frates et al., 1985; Nelson and Lewis, 2000; Onders et al., 2007). Despite significant morbidity and mortality associated with chronic ventilator-dependence, these young people generally enjoy a satisfying and relatively independent life (Gilgoff and Gilgoff, 2003; Nelson et al., 2007b).
Outcomes and causes of death in children on home mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy: An institutional and literature review
2010, Journal of PediatricsCitation Excerpt :Our cohort had a smaller proportion of patients who died outside of a hospital—23% versus the composite 39% (15 of 39 dead patients) that is reported in 4 earlier papers.4,10,14,20 Besides having a greater proportion of cardiac and tracheostomy-related deaths, the causes of death in our cohort are comparable with those in the 13 studies that reported the causes of their patients' deaths (Table V; available at www.jpeds.com).2,3,5-7,9-12,14,16,17,19 Thirty-five patients (15%) total and 12 dead patients (25%) had corrected or palliated congenital heart disease and are discussed elsewhere.22
