Research
Effect of different lung recruitment strategies and airway device on oscillatory mechanics in children under general anaesthesiaAtelectasis has been reported in 68 to 100% of children undergoing general anaesthesia, a phenomenon that persists into the recovery period. Children receiving recruitment manoeuvres have less atelectasis and fewer episodes of oxygen desaturation during emergence. The optimal type of recruitment manoeuvre is unclear and may be influenced by the airway device chosen.
Research
Information overload and parental perspectives on information provided to parents/carers of paediatric patients undergoing elective surgical proceduresWhen parents are expected to play a significant role in the management of their children's health perioperatively, information overload for parents could have particularly detrimental consequences. Our study investigated information communication and overload in 380 parents of children undergoing any elective surgical procedure at our institution.

AERIAL allergy and asthma study celebrates recruitment of final babyThe AERIAL study, in partnership with The ORIGINS Project, endeavours to understand if exposures during pregnancy and early life can affect the cells lining the airways in newborns, and whether this is associated with the development of wheeze, allergy and asthma later in childhood.
