Right from the start: improving respiratory support for preterm infants from their first breath to independent breathing

我与墨尔本皇家妇女医院世界领先的研究团队合作的研究项目旨在改善早产儿从出生到新生儿托儿所的旅程，直到在家中健康地开始。太多的早产儿死亡或有长期的健康问题。我将研究更温和的方法来支持出生时的呼吸，研究更好的方法来支持他们，直到他们可以独立呼吸，并评估如何支持更多的婴儿留在他们的出生医院。

My research program with the world leading research team at the Royal Women’s Hospital, Melbourne aims to improve the journey of preterm babies from birth, through the neonatal nursery, to a healthy start at home. Too many preterm babies die or have long term health problems. I will study gentler methods to support breathing from birth, investigate better ways of supporting them until they can breathe independently, and assess how to support more babies to stay in their birth hospitals.
