First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at whether measuring blood flow in the fetal lung artery using ultrasound can predict breathing difficulties in newborns. Researchers studied 86 pregnant women with severe preeclampsia between 28 and 37 weeks. The goal was to see if a specific ultrasound measurement could help doctors prepare for respiratory support after delivery.
