Optimising lung protective ventilation at birth using the volumetric response of the lung in a preterm lamb model

早产是一个常见问题，构成了重大的保健负担。早产儿的肺在出生时往往不能独立发挥功能，但非常脆弱，容易受到生命第一次呼吸的损害。救生机械呼吸支持必须保护肺免受伤害，并帮助肺功能。该项目旨在使用新方法和创新技术改善支持和保护早产儿肺的通气策略。

Prematurity is a common problem which constitutes a major health-care burden. The preterm lung often cannot function independently at birth but is very fragile and susceptible to damage from the very first breathes of life. Life-saving mechanical ventilatory support must protect the lung from injury as well aid lung function. This project aims to improve ventilation strategies for supporting and protecting the preterm lung using novel approaches and innovative technologies.
