The Incubator Channel · 14 Aug 2026 · 24 min
Summary
Dr Dinushan Kaluarachchi discusses three papers using the respiratory severity score (mean airway pressure times FiO2), covering RSS trajectories by gestational age in the PROP cohort, an RSS-based grading of BPD at 36 weeks, and RSS after 40 weeks as a predictor of tracheostomy. He also reflects on involving students in research through brief communications and previews upcoming trials, including surfactant via a supraglottic airway.
