Lung ultrasound in babies needing breathing help
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is born between 28 weeks and full term (37 weeks or more).
- Your baby is in the NICU and needs help breathing (with a machine or a mask).
- You give written permission for your baby to take part in the study.
- Your baby does not have a heart or lung problem like a heart defect, fluid around the lung, or a collapsed lung.

This trial uses a portable ultrasound at the bedside (called point-of-care lung ultrasound) to quickly examine the lungs of people who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see how well this test works for finding lung problems in the hospital or clinic.
This study is testing whether a simple ultrasound of the lungs done right after birth can help predict a lung problem called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very early preterm babies. If successful, this could help doctors identify babies at high risk sooner and provide better care.
This trial tests whether ultrasound scoring methods can better monitor breathing problems in ICU patients. If you have sudden breathing trouble while in the intensive care unit, doctors will use special ultrasound techniques to see how your lungs are working.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound helps doctors decide the best time to remove a breathing tube from preterm and full-term newborns. It may reduce the chance of needing to put the tube back in.
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 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.
