Draeger, a Germany- based company with 120 years of innovation in ventilation, has just completed the Australian leg of the Draeger Respiratory Care Speaker Tour yesterday, the 9th of November 2009, in Melbourne. The Respiratory Care Speaker Tour consists of a series of high level medical forums by leading experts in respiratory care to enhance respiratory knowledge amongst medical professionals in Asia and Australia. Professor Colin Morley, a British expert on neonatal ventilation, shared his expertise with Australian medical professionals on the invitation of Draeger in Melbourne, Australia.
Professor Morley gave an educational and interactive presentation on a topic with which he is intimately familiar. His interactive presentation, titled "Go with the Flow", focused on the techniques involved in interpreting data for respiratory care of neonates - a practice which demands high levels of accuracy and precision due to the neonate's immature respiratory system and the risk of further lung damage that may occur. The former Director of Neonatal Medicine at The Royal Women's Hospital Melbourne is an expert in neonatal respiratory care. Retired in 2008, Professor Morley still remains an active neonatal expert, with his current research focusing on neonatal resuscitation, nasal continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) and mechanical ventilation.
Ms Alison Curren, the Managing Director of Draeger's Medical Division in Australia, explains: "With Professor Morley's expertise and vast experience in the field of neonatal respiration, we hope to generate new discussions and further improvement in neonatal respiratory care. Respiratory care is an area in which Draeger has extensive experience, and with the Draeger Respiratory Care Speaker Tour, we show our commitment to the further development of neonatal respiratory care in Australia."
