Current Research Interests
My research interests include persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, hypoxic respiratory failure, inhaled nitric oxide therapy, ECMO, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, neonatal clinical trials, and the use of aEEG and NIRS to detect brain injury.
Clinical Trials

- Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Versus Surfactant, and a Lower Versus a Higher Oxygen Saturation in 24 to 27 Week Preterm Infants No longer recruiting
- Inhaled PGE1 in Neonatal Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Terminated
