– Research –

The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation’s research focuses on all areas of respiratory health, and research has been completed in the past with a specific focus on bronchiectasis:

• High concentration oxygen in bronchiectasis, Emily Tweedale, University of Otago, Wellington
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa respiratory infections in children and adults with cystic fibrosis and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, Jordan Mann, University of Auckland

Also, the Impact of Respiratory Disease in New Zealand: 2014 update has its own section dedicated to bronchiectasis, and this document will be updated in future:
