Simple ultrasound may spot lung trouble in preterm infants early

NCT ID NCT07633184

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a lung ultrasound score can help predict bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a serious lung condition, in premature babies born before 32 weeks. About 40% of extremely preterm infants develop BPD, which can cause long-term breathing problems. Researchers will use a non-invasive, bedside ultrasound to check lung health early, aiming to identify at-risk babies sooner so treatment can start earlier. The study involves 40 newborns across multiple hospitals.
