Description of Research Expertise
Neonatal lung function and outcome.Description of Itmat Expertise
Dr. Abbasi focuses on neonatal lung function through the developmentand testing of novel clinical devices and instruments in an effort to improve the efficacy of noninvasive respiratory support. The goal of her work is to prevent chronic lung disease of prematurity and to minimize the needed duration of respiratory support.
