Improved Early Respiratory Support of Infants and Children [ 2020-05-20T00:00:00 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Worldwide respiratory disease in children has the highest health care burden on society. Children aged <5 years in particular, are increasing in hospital admissions and to intensive care where the cost is elevated. New ways of oxygen therapy have been studied and shown that we can reduce ICU admission if a therapy known as Nasal High Flow (NHF) therapy is applied earlier in the progression of the disease. Further research is needed in NHF therapy and to improve upon our patient outcomes.
