Preterm infants have immature control of breathing and impaired pulmonary gas exchange. We hypothesized that infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) have a blunted ventilatory response and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) instability during a hypoxic challenge.
Despite the substantial burden of lung disease throughout childhood in children who were born very preterm, there are no evidence-based interventions to improve lung health beyond the neonatal period. We tested the hypothesis that inhaled corticosteroid improves lung function in this population.
Asthma affects about half a million Australian children and is one of the most common reasons why kids need to see a doctor or go to emergency.
A study led by researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia has shown that electronic cigarettes can cause lung damage.
New research from Perth’s The Kids Research Institute Australia shows that babies born premature continue to have lung problems well into childhood.
Join us for our Annual Community Lecture entitled "You Are What You Breathe" with Professor Stephen Holgate.
Researchers are urging caution in the use of a widely accepted test for diagnosing asthma, after their study found it may not be accurate in some settings.
The AIRWAY-Preterm cohort is one of the most robust, well-studied cohorts in the world!
Healthy lungs help you to breathe better. This means you can sleep better, as well as play sports, run and walk without being short winded.
We compared the ability of Ars, to standard oscillatory outcomes, to determine respiratory disease and differentiate responses to inhaled bronchial challenges.
