Predicting breathing problems in premature babies with lung ultrasound
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether lung ultrasound scores can better predict a common breathing problem in premature babies (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) compared to standard clinical tools. It may help identify early which babies need extra breathing support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born before the 32nd week of pregnancy.
- The study must begin within the first 24 hours after birth.
- You must give written permission for your baby to join.
- Your baby cannot have complex birth defects, chromosomal problems, or serious heart or lung conditions.

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.
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 study uses a special ultrasound to check how evenly the lungs are working in babies who need breathing support. It helps doctors understand if this type of ultrasound can guide care for newborns with breathing problems.
This study looks at medical information from premature babies to find early signs of a lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which can affect breathing. The goal is to help doctors predict and manage this condition better.
This trial studies a breath test to predict lung disease in very premature babies. It could help doctors start treatment earlier to prevent serious breathing problems.
This study looks at very early signs of a lung problem called bronchopulmonary dysplasia in babies born before 26 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to find better ways to predict and maybe prevent this condition.
