Improving lung protective mechanical ventilation in the newborn using regional lung mechanics

早产儿有严重的、潜在的长期肺损伤的风险。如果婴儿的肺从出生起就得到最佳的支持，这些并发症可以最小化。Tingay博士将使用令人兴奋的新成像技术，研究使用机械呼吸机在出生时帮助肺部充气的不同策略的影响，以及它们与其他用于增强肺部成熟的疗法的相互作用。它将为帮助脆弱的早产儿提供新的见解。

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.
