10-Year review reveals how often tiny lung camera helps sick newborns
NCT ID NCT07211971
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks back at 100 newborns who had a flexible bronchoscopy (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to diagnose breathing problems in the neonatal intensive care unit over the past 10 years. Researchers want to see how often this procedure helped doctors find the exact cause of breathing issues and guide treatment. The goal is to better understand the value of this tool for sick newborns.
