Heart ultrasound in sick newborns in the NICU
This study tests how using a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) can help doctors better manage care for very sick newborns in the NICU. It may help guide treatment for babies who are unstable, regardless of their weight or how early they were born.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be a newborn, between 0 and 28 days old, and in the NICU.
- Your baby must have signs of being very sick or unstable (like trouble breathing or low blood pressure).
- You must be able to give permission for your baby to be in the study.
- Your baby cannot have a heart defect, except for PDA, PFO, or a small ASD.

This study uses a special ultrasound to see how sepsis, a severe infection, affects the heart's function in newborns. It compares newborns with sepsis to healthy newborns to understand the impact and help improve care.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how well a newborn's heart is working. It aims to compare heart function in healthy babies, premature babies, and babies with certain health conditions to improve care.
This study records newborn heart measurements (using medical imaging) to compare babies with certain congenital heart defects to healthy-term babies. The goal is to see how well one test matches another, which may help doctors better understand heart conditions in newborns.
