Funded Activity Summary

Premature babies are at risk of severe, and potentially long-term, lung damage. These complications can be minimised if babies lungs are optimally supported from birth. Dr Tingay will examine the influence of different strategies for using mechanical ventilators to help inflate the lung at birth, and their interactions with other therapies used to enhance lung maturity, using exciting new imaging technologies. It will provide new insights into helping vulnerable preterm babies.
