Improved respiratory support and outcomes for very preterm babies

早产儿出生时肺部发育不足，无法维持出生后的呼吸需求。因此，他们需要重症监护，这是新生儿医学中最昂贵和最具挑战性的问题，因为这些婴儿可能因早产而患终身疾病。这个项目的研究将有助于了解早产儿肺部疾病的原因，并制定更好的方法来照顾他们，以提高他们在没有持续疾病和残疾的情况下生存的机会

Premature babies are born with lungs that are not developed enough to sustain their breathing needs after birth. As a result, they need intensive care which is the most costly and challenging problem in newborn medicine as these infants can suffer life-long diseases because of their early birth. This programs study will help to understand the causes of lung disease in premature babies and develop better ways of caring for them to improve their chances of survival without ongoing illness and disability
