Improving respiratory transition and outcomes of newborn infants [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Marta Thio (Principal investigator)

Brief description Effective mask ventilation is the most important intervention at birth that can reduce mortality and disability in term and preterm infants. I will develop strategies to help clinicians improve their resuscitation skills. I will also study new ways to better support babies’ transition after birth, to improve their short and long term outcomes. The results of this research will change the way newly born babies are cared for around the world.
