2024 Research Grant Winners
At the 2024 SPANZA ASM in Melbourne, we were proud to present to two fantastic Research projects:
A$20,000 was awarded to:
- Dr James Broadbent: Development of high-fidelity 3D printed tracheae for infant CICO rescue and shared airway training.
- Objectives are to develop high fidelity 3D printed tracheae which can be incorporated into currently available simulation mannequins for training purposes:
- Infant CICO-rescue model
- Paediatric trachea for multidisciplinary inhaled foreign body removal workshops
- Operable paediatric trachea incorporating dynamic pathology including inflatable tracheal cyst and tracheal web
- Associate Professor Paul-Lee Archer: Wearable technology for the measurement of post-operative outcomes in children undergoing Ear, Nose and Throat surgery.
- The overarching aim of this study is to improve outcomes for children who require ENT surgery by exploring the use of wearable technology for monitoring children's post-operative recovery. The objectives of this study are to
- Evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of wearable devices to objectively monitor children recovering from ENT surgery.
- To explore the feasibility of developing a pain assessment algorithm by examining the correlation between data from wearable devices with parent and child reported pain scores, physical activity and sleep.
- Characterise and describe the recovery to baseline activity, sleep and pain intensity for children undergoing ENT surgery
