Abstract

Ventilator-associated respiratory tract infections (VARTI) are among the most common indications for hospitalization among children with chronic respiratory failure requiring at-home ventilation. This review aims to provide an overview of the key clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies for home VARTIs while highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and management.

Keywords: children; home‐ventilation; tracheitis; ventilator‐associated pneumonia.
