This study is looking at a new device called the Prone Positioner. This device helps infants with tracheostomies (breathing tubes in their windpipe) lie on their stomachs for "tummy time." Researchers want to see how well the Prone Positioner fits different infants and if families, nurses, and therapists are happy with it. They also want to know if the device helps infants with tracheostomies comfortably participate in tummy time and how well they can breathe while using it. The study will involve about 30 infants, aged 44 weeks (gestational age) to 24 months, who are in the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit), NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), or Vent clinic at Children's Mercy.

Study design

This is an interventional study involving about 30 participants. It is not specified if the study is randomized or blinded.

What's involved

A trained staff member will be present while your infant is placed in the Prone Positioner for a fit test, which lasts about 45 minutes. You and healthcare providers will complete surveys about the device.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary endpoint for fit and size is measured at 45 minutes, suggesting a short follow-up period.
