World-first research being conducted at TPCH offers hope for earlier diagnosis of occupational lung diseases including silicosis. 🫁

Australia's first dedicated PExA (Particles in Exhaled Air) machine was funded by The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation through its Tradie Health Institute initiative.

Professor Dan Chambers, Senior Thoracic Physician and Head of Research at the Queensland Lung Transplant Service said this technology represents a significant change in what is possible for workers at risk. 

“We’re trialling a new technology that can detect tiny particles from the deepest part of the lungs using a breath sample, and this could allow us to identify disease much earlier, before serious damage occurs," he said.

“Positioning Queensland at the forefront of global efforts to detect occupational lung disease earlier, more safely and more precisely than ever before, our research has the potential to reshape how these conditions are identified, monitored, treated, and ultimately prevented.
 
“What excites us is not just better diagnosis, but the possibility of earlier intervention. If we can identify disease at a much earlier stage, we have a real opportunity to change outcomes."

"We moved to Brisbane six months ago from the Gold Coast. I am a drug and alcohol nurse and Jasper is a cardiology doctor here at the RBWH but we first met each other working at a hospital in Sydney. I am European so our baby Violette is spelt with the double 't', it's a French-English name. We are going home today and looking forward to going on strolls around our neighbourhood with Violette in the pram. The midwives on this ward have been amazing and we're so excited to be parents."
