Prediction of peri-operative adverse respiratory events in children: The role of exhaled nitric oxide.

Increased levels of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) may be a more objective predictor in identifying children at higher risk of peri-operative adverse respiratory...

The influence of sighing respirations on infant lung function measured using multiple breath washout gas mixing techniques

There is substantial interest in studying lung function in infants, to better understand the early life origins of chronic lung diseases such as asthma.

Lung function in African infants: A pilot study

Unsedated infant lung function measures of tidal breathing, MBW, and eNO are feasible in a semi-rural African setting

Peri-operative adverse respiratory events in children

We screened for risk factors from children's and their families' histories, and assessed the usefulness of common markers of allergic sensitisation of the...

Lung function in African infants: A pilot study

Infant lung function (ILF) testing may provide useful information about lung growth and susceptibility to respiratory disease.

The safety and feasibility of the inhaled mannitol challenge test in young children

Mannitol challenge tests are used clinically to diagnose asthma and, in particular, exercise-induced broncoconstriction (EIB) in adults and children above 6...

Respiratory impedance and bronchodilator responsiveness in healthy children aged 2-13 years

There is limited information on changes in FOT outcomes in healthy children beyond the preschool years and the level of bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR)...
