Lung ultrasound to predict recovery in newborns with breathing trouble
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a lung ultrasound (a safe, painless scan) can help predict how well a newborn will recover from breathing problems that start right after birth. It may help doctors decide on the best care more quickly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby had trouble breathing shortly after birth.
- Your baby was born at 34 weeks of pregnancy or later (late preterm or full term).
- Your baby weighed more than 1,900 grams (about 4 pounds) at birth.
- Your baby does not have any major birth defects (like heart, chromosome, or fluid buildup problems).
- You (the parent) give written permission for your baby to join the study.

This study uses a special lung ultrasound to look at how well a baby's lungs are working. It is for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who need help breathing. The goal is to see if the ultrasound can give doctors useful information.
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound pictures can help doctors decide how to support breathing in infants who need extra help, including surfactant therapy. If successful, ultrasound may reduce the need for X-rays and improve care.
This trial tests whether doing a bedside lung ultrasound can help doctors assess and manage breathing problems in very premature infants. It may help guide care decisions for infants who are struggling to breathe, especially those needing breathing support.
This trial uses a lung ultrasound (a safe, painless scan) right after birth to help doctors understand the lungs of very premature babies (born before 26 weeks). It aims to see if this early scan can guide better breathing support.
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs to see if doctors can predict which very premature babies will develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)—a chronic lung condition common in extremely premature infants. The goal is to identify at-risk babies early so they can receive targeted treatment.
