Study Summary

This trial will study if lung ultrasound can help predict success of extubation in newborns with breathing difficulties.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for infants in the NICU with respiratory distress needing a breathing tube, who are ready to try breathing without it according to their doctor. They must be born at specific hospitals. Babies with major birth defects or those whose parents are minors cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if lung ultrasounds can help predict whether babies with breathing difficulties can successfully breathe on their own after having their breathing tubes removed.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Lung ultrasound is generally safe and non-invasive, so there should be minimal side effects. The procedure may cause some discomfort due to the positioning of the baby during the scan.
