Management of endocrinological problems in children on home invasive
mechanical ventilation
- Zeynep Siklar
Abstract
Children with home invasive mechanical ventilation face numerous
difficulties, including endocrine problems that can arise as a
consequence of their condition. Endocrine problems seen in children
treated with HIMV may develop due to the underlying disease, drugs used,
or prolonged mechanical ventilation. This manuscript will discuss the
most common endocrine problems encountered in children with home
invasive mechanical ventilation, including problems in glucose
metabolism, thyroid dysfunction, bone metabolism, adrenal dysfunctions,
growth and puberty. Close monitoring, multidisciplinary care, and
regular assessments are essential to optimize the endocrin system
functions of children requiring HMV. By understanding these
complications, it can develop effective management strategies to
optimize the health and well-being of these vulnerable individuals.04 Jul 2023Submitted to Pediatric Pulmonology 11 Jul 2023Review(s) Completed, Editorial Evaluation Pending
