An estimated 23% of children with grade 3 bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) require tracheostomy for long term positive pressure ventilation. Transition from an intensive care unit (ICU) ventilator to a portable home ventilator (PHV) is one of the key steps in the process of discharging a patient home. The objective of this study was to identify clinical factors and ventilator settings associated with successful transition to a PHV in infants with grade 3 BPD.
