Bunnies to raise money for CF

NEW monitoring equipment will provide more accurate and effective treatment for hundreds of Irish children with cystic fibrosis.

Consultants in Temple Street Children’s Hospital in Dublin believe a bronchoscopy monitor will give them scientific information on the progress of a child’s condition. Up until now they relied on the word of the child on how they were feeling.

The monitor works by taking a snapshot of the child’s lungs to see if they are improving or worsening, allowing doctors to make better decisions on what or when treatment is needed.
