AI Summary

About 5 % of U.S. children under 18 are medically complex, with conditions such as cerebral palsy and reliance on implanted tube‑related technology. Most of their care is delivered at home, where parents manage devices, medications, and nutrition. The study from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, published in Pediatrics, found that parents frequently face safety challenges and often devise creative solutions on their own, without involving the care team.
