Abstract

In pediatrics chronic respiratory insufficiency is increasingly treated on an outpatient basis with home mechanical ventilation. Nursing and medical teams with different structures take care of the often complex ill children in the outpatient setting. Structured treatment processes, especially emergency plans for the management of respiratory emergencies of home mechanical ventilated children are lacking. This article is a proposal for emergency management of respiratory infections, emergencies of non-invasively ventilated and invasively ventilated, tracheotomized children. In addition to resuscitation measures according to ERC/AHA, the focus is primarily on secretion management, as well as on the handling of ventilators and devices.
