Lung inflammation and simulated airway resistance in infants with cystic fibrosisCystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by small airway disease; but central airways may also be affected. We hypothesized that airway resistance estimated from computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methodology in infants with CF was higher than controls and that early airway inflammation in infants with CF is associated with airway resistance.

The effect of endotracheal tubes versus laryngeal mask airways on perioperative respiratory adverse events in infants: A randomised controlled trialEvaluating the difference of the effects of Laryngeal mask airways compared to endotracheal tubes in older children (>1 year) in incidents of PRAE in infants.

Early lung surveillance of cystic fibrosis: what have we learnt?Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) provides an opportunity to commence management and therapeutic interventions significantly earlier

Respiratory function and symptoms in young preterm children in the contemporary eraPreterm children have worse lung function than healthy controls

The impact of respiratory viruses on lung health after preterm birthThe aim of this review is to highlight the risk factors that may contribute to increased susceptibility to viral respiratory infections among preterm infants

Lung function trajectories throughout childhood in survivors of very preterm birth: a longitudinal cohort studyLung function trajectories are impaired in survivors of very preterm birth

How ‘healthy’ do children really need to be? Going beyond the limitsThe authors assessed the impact of including preschool‐aged children with a history of preterm birth, early life wheeze, asthma diagnoses and/or recent respiratory symptoms in healthy reference ranges for respiratory impedance using the forced oscillation technique (FOT).
Research
Cuffed vs. uncuffed tracheal tubes in children: A randomised controlled trial comparing leak, tidal volume and complicationsOur study compared tidal volume and leakage around cuffed and uncuffed tracheal tubes in children who required standardised mechanical ventilation of the lungs.

Effect of posture on lung ventilation distribution and associations with structure in children with cystic fibrosisBackground: We assessed the effect of posture on ventilation distribution and the impact on associations with structural lung disease.
