Kids Easy Breathing Study KickstartsThe Kids Easy Breathing Study kickstarts this month, with the aim of finding out how the airway surface is different between infants who develop chronic lung disease after contracting bronchiolitis compared with those who don’t.

Oscillometry and spirometry are not interchangeable when assessing the bronchodilator response in children and young adults born pretermThe European Respiratory Society Oscillometry Taskforce identified that clinical correlates of bronchodilator responses are needed to advance oscillometry in clinical practice. The understanding of bronchodilator-induced oscillometry changes in preterm lung disease is poor. Here we describe a comparison of bronchodilator assessments performed using oscillometry and spirometry in a population born very preterm and explore the relationship between bronchodilator-induced changes in respiratory function and clinical outcomes.

Effect of Albuterol Premedication vs Placebo on the Occurrence of Respiratory Adverse Events in Children Undergoing Tonsillectomies: The REACT Randomized Clinical TrialDetermine whether inhaled albuterol sulfate (salbutamol sulfate) premedication decreases the risk of perioperative respiratory adverse events

Deep or awake removal of laryngeal mask airway in children at risk of respiratory adverse events undergoing tonsillectomy - a randomised controlled trialWe 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 asthmaWhile spirometry contributes to asthma diagnosis and management in older children, it has a limited role in younger children whom are unable to perform FOM.
