Paediatric respiratory medicine
Spaarne Gasthuis is involved in clinical research focused on children and adolescents with respiratory distress, addressing conditions that affect breathing and oxygenation in acute care settings.
- Bronchiolitis
- Lower respiratory tract infection
- Viral wheeze and bronchial hyperreactivity
The research activity reflects a clinical interest in managing acute paediatric airway and lung disease within hospital-based care.
Oxygen therapy and respiratory support
The sponsor’s trial portfolio centres on oxygen saturation targets for admitted patients with breathing difficulties, with attention to hypoxaemia management and safe oxygen use in inpatient care.
- SpO2 monitoring
- Oxygen saturation thresholds
- Hospital respiratory care
This area includes clinical questions relevant to respiratory stabilisation and oxygen-guided treatment decisions for paediatric patients.
Hospital length of stay and acute care outcomes
Research interest extends to the impact of respiratory management on length of hospital stay, with a focus on care pathways for acutely ill children and adolescents admitted for breathing-related illness.
- Inpatient respiratory management
- Clinical recovery
- Resource use in hospital care
The clinical setting suggests attention to outcomes that matter in acute paediatric medicine, including safe discharge and efficient ward-based care.
Evidence generation in collaborative hospital research
The sponsor’s research activity is embedded in a multi-site hospital network, supporting studies in respiratory paediatrics across collaborating clinical locations in the Netherlands.
- Collaborative clinical research
- Hospital-based paediatric studies
- Acute respiratory illness
This research landscape is centred on generating clinically relevant evidence for the management of acute childhood respiratory disease.
