Neck ultrasound to measure breathing difficulty in babies with bronchiolitis
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a simple, painless ultrasound of the neck to see if the breathing effort in babies with bronchiolitis can help doctors understand how severe the illness is. If your baby is in the ER with their first wheezing episode, this could help improve care for other infants in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is between 1 and 23 months old (under 2 years).
- This is your baby's first time wheezing, and it started after a cold or stuffy nose.
- Your baby must be seen in the emergency department within 6 hours of arriving.
- Your baby does not have heart disease, chronic lung disease, or a history of wheezing.
- Your baby has no neck abnormalities or previous neck vein procedures.

This study uses an ultrasound of the neck to see if doctors can predict which babies under 1 year old might have a harder time getting a breathing tube placed. The goal is to improve safety during anesthesia and procedures.
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 uses lung ultrasound—a safe, painless imaging test—to help doctors guide breathing support and surfactant treatment for newborns. It may help your baby's lungs work better with fewer complications.
This study uses chest ultrasound (sound waves to look at the lungs) to help doctors understand respiratory infections (like colds, flu, or pneumonia) in people up to age 20. It aims to see if this imaging method improves diagnosis and care for patients seen in the emergency department or admitted to the hospital.
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.
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.
