Q: Congratulations on your award! Can you tell us a little about yourself?
A: I'm a senior paediatric intensivist at @SJDbarcelona_es. Research-wise I have a strong interest in respiratory physiology & mechanical ventilation, including NIV & LTV. I am also a former chair of the @ESPNIC_Society Respiratory Failure section.
Q: You’ve received the Medtronic Research Grant this year, what is the key objective of your work?🤔
A: Using electrical impedance tomography, we are aiming to better understand the effect of different interventions like proning, recruitment manoeuvres & physiotherapy; focusing on infants admitted to #PedsICU with bronchiolitis who require any form of respiratory support. (…)
(…) The Grant will allow us to acquire equipment & cover for hiring essential professionals like data managers or research assistants. I’d like to keep our group motivated by making our colleagues feel valued. So we promote their development or reward extra efforts.
Q: What are your next plans for future research?📚
A: Presenting our findings at @ESPNIC_Society meetings is equally important as publications. I have another project in mind about how EIT could be utilised to optimise adaptation to cough assist devices in challenging non-collaborative children. (…)
(…) On a larger scale, I hope our research will contribute to the science of figuring out which subgroup of patients benefit the most from EIT. 💥
