Ultrasound may spot preemie lung needs earlier
NCT ID NCT05782569
First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether lung ultrasound can predict which premature babies (born before 34 weeks) need surfactant—a substance that helps their lungs work. Doctors usually decide based on oxygen levels, which can delay treatment. Researchers performed early and repeated ultrasounds on 86 babies to see if the images could predict the need for surfactant sooner. The ultrasound results were recorded but not used for treatment decisions.
