Mechanical ventilation is an effective treatment for respiratory failure, no more than ten percent of patients with respiratory failure need long-term mechanical ventilation.
Mechanical ventilation is an effective treatment for respiratory failure, no more than ten percent of patients with respiratory failure need long-term mechanical ventilation. There is a lack of data on children with long-term mechanical ventilation in China.The investigators conducted this study to investigate the clinical characteristics of children with long-term mechanical ventilation in China. The investigators conducted a multicenter clinical epidemiological survey.The study included PICU wards in major children's hospitals in China and investigated the causes of prolonged mechanical ventilation, the outcome of long-term mechanical ventilation.PMV definition: continuous invasive or noninvasive ventilation time ≥ 21 days, daily ≥ 6 hours.

the cause of prolonged mechanical ventilation
This is a categorical variable. The reasons for the prolonged mechanical ventilation wolud be recorded, includes neuromuscular diseases, upper respiratory airway diseases, central nervous system diseases, lower respiratory airway diseases, abnormal ventilation control diseases.
Time frame: At enrollment
mortality rate
The mortality rate among patients received prolonged mechanical ventilation.
Time frame: During the procedure (about 2 years)
the length of prolonged mechanical ventilaton
The length of prolonged mechanical ventilaton among patients would be recorded during the hospitalization and after discharging.
Time frame: During the procedure (about 2 years)
