Respiratory Medicine and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Clinical research in pulmonology centres on COPD, hyperinflation, and the interaction between airflow limitation and heart failure with mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction.
- Dual bronchodilation
- Exercise physiology
- Cardiopulmonary interaction
Interest extends to functional outcomes linked to pulmonary mechanics and cardiac performance in patients with chronic respiratory disease.
Lung Surgery and Perioperative Respiratory Care
Research activity includes one-lung ventilation and respiratory support during lung resection surgery, with attention to postoperative respiratory complications.
- Oxygen administration
- Non-ventilated lung management
- Postoperative pulmonary complications
The surgical focus is on respiratory protection and optimisation of lung function around thoracic procedures.
Paediatric Critical Care and Gastrointestinal Function
Trials also address constipation prevention in the critically ill child, reflecting interest in supportive care within paediatric intensive care.
- Constipation prophylaxis
- Paediatric intensive care
- Bowel function
This area focuses on maintaining gastrointestinal comfort and regularity in vulnerable hospitalised children.
