Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

David N. Matlock's research focuses on respiratory support and lung health in infants, particularly those born prematurely. He investigates various ventilatory strategies and devices aimed at improving outcomes for newborns with conditions such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia and tracheobronchomalacia. His work includes studies on the effectiveness of different nasal cannulas and ventilation modes, such as non-synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation and neurally-adjusted ventilatory assist. Matlock also examines the accuracy of physiological measurements in preterm infants and has explored the use of dynamic computed tomography for diagnosing airway abnormalities. He has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences on multiple publications, including work with Sherry E. Courtney and Amit Agarwal.
