Infant lung function testing (ILFT) is advancing with new technologies, enabling better understanding of infant respiratory health. International collaboration is crucial for standardizing methods and applying ILFT to clinical research for improved infant respiratory disease management.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Neonatal Physiology
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Infant lung function testing (ILFT) has existed for 40 years but is experiencing recent growth.
  • Advancements in simpler methods, equipment, and IT have spurred progress.
  • Significant knowledge gaps remain regarding infant lung physiology and pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the recent growth and potential of infant lung function testing.
  • To emphasize the need for international collaboration to standardize ILFT.
  • To promote the application of ILFT in clinical settings for studying and treating infant respiratory illnesses.

Main Methods:

  • Development of simpler methods and improved equipment.
  • Leveraging advanced IT resources for data analysis.
