    I've cared for home vent patients (off and on) for over 30 years. All peds. With the proper training, it's a good gig. You never have to worry about them not breathing. :)

    Truthfully, they all have a backup vent in the home. so really any trouble you might have is likely to be with the trach, not the vent. There are a lot of home vent patients- it's a growth area.

    Heck- I have parents with less than a high school education learn the vent for their child. You are MILES ahead of them. Light years actually.
