Description
Federico Costa and co-authors review lung ultrasound in 2024 for newborn breathing trouble. Preterm babies often lack the lung coating that keeps air sacs open, a dangerous state long checked by X-ray. Ultrasound at the bedside offers a radiation-free rival, and the review gathers ten years of studies on its worth.
The method beats X-ray and CT in accuracy for this diagnosis, judges the need for the missing coating, and predicts when breathing support will fail. Scores built on its images guide care. The authors flag uneven training and scoring as the main barriers, and see AI help as the path to wider, steadier use.
