OverviewAI-generated summary

Z. Ghazala studies respiratory health in pediatric populations, with a particular focus on children with sickle cell disease. Their recent work has investigated the impact of race-neutral predictive equations on spirometry results in this group. Ghazala has also published on managing chronic respiratory failure in infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia using a volume-targeted approach, and on volume-targeted ventilation as an invasive home ventilation strategy. Other research interests include necrotizing pneumonia in cystic fibrosis patients, preoperative vaping screening in pediatric patients, and rare conditions presenting as acute respiratory failure or masquerading as common diseases. Ghazala also has experience with acquired tracheoesophageal fistulas in infants following tracheostomy tube placement.
