Respiratory Research Teams

The Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre is made up of multi-disciplinary teams that are committed to improving the lives of children and their families living with respiratory disease.

RSV Immunisation Guidance Tool

This tool is designed to help current and future parents and caregivers as well as health care providers. It is currently based on the 2026 Western Australian RSV immunisation program.

AERIAL

Investigating the possible contributors to childhood lung disease by studying the epithelial cells from the nose at birth.

Neonatal high frequency ventilation: Current trends and future directions

High frequency ventilation (HFV) in neonates has been in use for over forty years. Some early HFV ventilators are no longer available, but high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) and jet ventilators (HFJV) continue to be commonly employed. Advanced HFOV models available outside of the United States are much quieter and easier to use, and are available as options on many conventional ventilators, providing important improvements such as tidal volume measurement and targeting.

Epidemiology of Neonatal Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Prospective, Multicenter, International Cohort Study

Age-specific definitions for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are available, including a specific definition for neonates (the "Montreux definition"). The epidemiology of neonatal ARDS is unknown. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology, clinical course, treatment, and outcomes of neonatal ARDS.

Multiple breath washout cannot be used for tidal breath parameter analysis in infants

There are differences in tidal breathing parameters during multiple breath washout testing with SF6 gas mixture in infants

Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common chronic, life-shortening genetic condition affecting young Australians. There is no cure but researchers are working to prevent the onset of lung disease.

Gestational age and school achievement: A population study

We examined gestational age from preterm to post-term against a national minimum standard for academic achievement in population data.

Air pollution during pregnancy and lung development in the child

Air pollution exposure has increased in recent years and there is evidence that exposure to particulate matter can lead to adverse respiratory outcomes.
