HFNC Presentation – Lung Health Education Session

Presented by Brett Manley

Brett is a Neonatologist at The Royal Women’s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia and an Associate Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at The University of Melbourne. He conducts clinical trials to improve outcomes for preterm and newborn infants.

For his PhD, Brett studied the use of nasal high-flow as post-extubation respiratory support for very preterm infants. Subsequently he has led or supervised another 3 randomised trials of nasal high-flow, including in non-tertiary centres and during neonatal intubation. He currently leads the international “PLUSS” trial of intratracheal budesonide mixed with surfactant to increase survival free of BPD in extremely preterm infants. Outside work, Brett sometimes wears an old Henrik Sedin Canucks jersey around the house.
