Simple bedside ultrasound may spot lung risk in preemies
NCT ID NCT05925075
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple bedside lung ultrasound can predict chronic lung disease in premature infants born before 32 weeks. Researchers will perform ultrasounds on 150 babies with breathing problems and track their outcomes. The goal is to see if early ultrasound scores can identify those at risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify preterm infants at high risk for chronic lung disease earlier, allowing for timely interventions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The ultrasound scores may not accurately predict outcomes in all babies, and results may not change current care.
