The impact of respiratory viruses on lung health after preterm birth

The aim of this review is to highlight the risk factors that may contribute to increased susceptibility to viral respiratory infections among preterm infants

Respiratory function in healthy Emirati children using forced oscillations

Forced oscillation technique measurements were feasible in Emirati school-children. New forced oscillation technique reference equation in Emirati children were derived.

Prediction models for the development of COPD: A systematic review

We aimed to systematically review and assess the performance of all published models that predicted development of COPD

Deep or awake removal of laryngeal mask airway in children at risk of respiratory adverse events undergoing tonsillectomy - a randomised controlled trial

We found no evidence for a difference in the timing of the laryngeal mask airways removal on the incidence of respiratory adverse events

Is forced oscillation technique the next respiratory function test of choice in childhood asthma

While spirometry contributes to asthma diagnosis and management in older children, it has a limited role in younger children whom are unable to perform FOM.

Surgical pleth index: Prediction of postoperative pain in children?

It was the aim of this study to define a clinically appropriate SPI target to predict moderate-severe postoperative pain in children.

A prospective audit of pain profiles following general and urological surgery in children

To determine the duration and severity of acute postoperative pain experienced by children undergoing 8 different general and urological procedures.

The global lung function initiative (GLI) network: Bringing the world’s respiratory reference values together

The Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) Network has become the largest resource for reference values for routine lung function testing ever assembled.

Exhaled breath temperature in healthy children is influenced by room temperature and lung volume

Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) has been proposed for the non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation

Changes in lung volume during spells in children with Tetralogy of Fallot under general anesthesia

To describe the changes in end-expiratory lung volume and ventilation inhomogeneities during spells in three children with Tetralogy of Fallot.
