Pediatr Crit Care Med . 2017 Jul; 18(9):e428-e434. PMID: 28742723
Objectives: To determine the short-term tolerance, efficacy, and lung deposition of supraglottic atomized surfactant in spontaneously breathing lambs receiving continuous positive airway pressure. Design: Prospective, randomized animal study. Setting: Animal...

Abouzeid T, Perkins E, Pereira-Fantini P, Rajapaksa A, Suka A, Tingay D
J Pediatr . 2017 Apr; 184:51-56.e3. PMID: 28410092
Objectives: To describe expiratory tidal volume (V) during routine anesthetic management of neonates at a single tertiary neonatal surgical center, as well as the proportion of V values within the...

Tingay D, Rajapaksa A, Zannin E, Pereira-Fantini P, Dellaca R, Perkins E, et al.
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol . 2016 Nov; 312(1):L32-L41. PMID: 27881405
Respiratory transition at birth involves rapidly clearing fetal lung liquid and preventing efflux back into the lung while aeration is established. We have developed a sustained inflation (SI) individualized to...

Tingay D, Rajapaksa A, McCall K, Zonneveld C, Black D, Perkins E, et al.
Pediatr Res . 2016 Feb; 79(6):916-21. PMID: 26866905
Background: To describe the interrelationship between antenatal steroids, exogenous surfactant, and two approaches to lung recruitment at birth on oxygenation and respiratory system compliance (Cdyn) in preterm lambs. Methods: Lambs...

Tingay D, Lavizzari A, Zonneveld C, Rajapaksa A, Zannin E, Perkins E, et al.
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol . 2015 Sep; 309(10):L1138-49. PMID: 26408555
A sustained first inflation (SI) at birth may aid lung liquid clearance and aeration, but the impact of SI duration relative to the volume-response of the lung is poorly understood....

Tingay D, Rajapaksa A, Zonneveld C, Black D, Perkins E, Adler A, et al.
Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol . 2015 Jul; 54(2):263-72. PMID: 26186685
Ineffective aeration during the first inflations at birth creates regional aeration and ventilation defects, initiating injurious pathways. This study aimed to compare a sustained first inflation at birth or dynamic...

Cortez-Jugo C, Qi A, Rajapaksa A, Friend J, Yeo L
Biomicrofluidics . 2015 May; 9(5):052603. PMID: 25945147
Nebulizers have considerable advantages over conventional inhalers for pulmonary drug administration, particularly because they do not require coordinated breath actuation to generate and deliver the aerosols. Nevertheless, besides being less...

Rajapaksa A, Qi A, Yeo L, Coppel R, Friend J
Lab Chip . 2014 Apr; 14(11):1858-65. PMID: 24740643
A practical, commercially viable microfluidic device relies upon the miniaturization and integration of all its components--including pumps, circuitry, and power supply--onto a chip-based platform. Surface acoustic waves (SAW) have become...

Qi A, Chan P, Ho J, Rajapaksa A, Friend J, Yeo L
ACS Nano . 2011 Nov; 5(12):9583-91. PMID: 22059733
The encapsulation of therapeutic molecules within multiple layers of biocompatible and biodegradable polymeric excipients allows exquisite design of their release profile, to the extent the drug can be selectively delivered...
