Abstract
Purpose of this review: The purpose of this review is to explore the evidence around children and young people who require a tracheostomy and transition into adult services, reflecting on the challenges and considerations for clinical practice as these needs increase. Recent findings: There are a lack of data on the incidence and prevalence of children and young people with a tracheostomy transitioning to adult services for ongoing care. There are significant variations in care needs, technology and previous experiences that demand more than a simple handover process. Examples of service models that support the transition of care exist, however these lack specificity for children and young people with a tracheostomy. Summary: Further exploration of the needs of children and young people requiring airway technology is indicated, particularly considering the short and long-term education, health, and social care needs.
