Lung ultrasound for babies needing breathing support
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born at or after 28 weeks of pregnancy, or be a full-term baby.
- Your baby must be in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
- Your baby must be receiving breathing support, like a ventilator or CPAP, at the time of the ultrasound.
- You (the parent) must give written permission for your baby to take part.
- Your baby cannot have certain heart or lung conditions, such as a major heart defect, fluid around the lungs, or a collapsed lung.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study uses ultrasound to monitor lung function and blood flow in premature babies who receive surfactant, a medicine that helps their lungs open. It aims to see if ultrasound can help doctors better track how well the treatment works.
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 looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well your lungs are working while you are in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors adjust your breathing treatment more accurately.
This study is testing whether using ultrasound pictures of the lungs (called lung ultrasound) can help doctors choose the best breathing support for premature babies. It will involve babies who are already on NCPAP, a common breathing machine, and may help improve their treatment.
