ClinConnect Summary
The DECIDE-T project is a clinical trial aimed at helping children who need a tracheostomy, which is a procedure that creates an opening in the neck to help them breathe. This project is creating a special care plan that will make it easier for families to manage their child's care at home after they leave the hospital. The plan includes digital tools like online resources for education, peer support, and telehealth services to stay connected with healthcare providers. The goal is to help children spend less time in the hospital and support their families in reducing stress and burnout.
To participate in this trial, children must be under 18 years old and be having their first tracheostomy. The trial is currently looking for participants, and it aims to provide valuable resources and support that can improve the quality of life for both children and their families during this challenging time.
