NCT ID NCT06140615
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a lung ultrasound score can help doctors decide when to safely remove a breathing tube from newborn babies with breathing problems. 71 infants in the NICU had an ultrasound before and after their breathing tube was removed. The goal was to see if the ultrasound score could predict which babies would stay off the machine for more than 72 hours.
