What this Trial Is About
The trial focuses on children aged 6 months to 17 years who require home ventilation, either invasive or non-invasive, due to chronic respiratory impairments caused by conditions such as neuromuscular disease, upper airway pathologies, chest wall or lung problems, and central control ventilation disorders. Home ventilation is increasingly used in France, with recent studies indicating a prevalence of 9.3 per 100,000 infants. This research aims to better understand how home ventilation affects the quality of life and sleep quality in these children, addressing gaps in existing literature that showed impairments compared to healthy children and those with other chronic diseases. Participants will undergo evaluation using questionnaires designed to assess their quality of life and sleep quality while receiving home ventilation. The study is conducted in five centers across France, including Angers, Nantes, Le Mans, Rennes, and Brest. The intervention consists of completing these questionnaires to gather data over the study period. Children involved in the study will be followed for 30 months, during which their quality of life related to home care ventilation will be monitored. Researchers will collect data through the questionnaires to measure outcomes. Participation involves regular follow-up at the designated centers, and informed consent is required from parents or legal guardians. The study aims to contribute valuable information to improve respiratory care and support for children using home ventilation.
