In this Complex Care Journal Club podcast episode, Dr. Sarah Sobotka discusses a mixed-methods study with longitudinal assessment of neurodevelopmental profiles of children requiring mechanical ventilation after hospital discharge and perceived influences on development. She describes lessons learned while designing and performing the study, the need for dedicated therapeutic strategies for this patient population, and next steps from this work.
