First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looked at whether a special ultrasound technique called fetal lung elastography can predict which preterm babies will develop respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), a serious breathing problem. Researchers measured lung stiffness in 80 unborn babies between 24-33 weeks of pregnancy. The goal was to see if these measurements could help doctors identify high-risk babies before birth.
