OverviewAI-generated summary

Zena Ghazala's research program focuses on pediatric respiratory health, particularly in children with chronic conditions and critical illnesses. Her work includes investigating spirometry results in children with sickle cell disease using race-neutral predictive equations and managing chronic respiratory failure in infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia through volume-targeted ventilation strategies. She has also published on topics such as necrotizing pneumonia in young adults with cystic fibrosis and acquired tracheoesophageal fistulas in infants following tracheostomy. Ghazala's research interests extend to preoperative screening for vaping in pediatric patients and identifying rare inborn errors of immunity presenting as acute respiratory failure. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including M. Pertzborn, Ariel Berlinski, Erhan Ararat, and Suzanne Saccente.
