Lung function in African infants: A pilot studyUnsedated infant lung function measures of tidal breathing, MBW, and eNO are feasible in a semi-rural African setting
On average, a person can expect to take more than 700 million breaths in their lifetime.
Research
Multiple-breath washout outcomes are sensitive to inflammation and infection in children with cystic fibrosisThe lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool for monitoring the presence and extent of lower airway inflammation and infection
Have you ever wondered how your lungs work? Researchers from our Children’s Lung Health Team show you how to make a simple lung model by using common household items.

PREDICT CF: Assessing the role of lung clearance index in predicting disease progression in children with cystic fibrosisThere is increasing evidence that the assessment of ventilation distribution using the multiple breath washout (MBW) technique is sensitive to changes in disease status of children with cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life‐shortening genetic disease affecting children.
