Raimondi F, Dolce P, Veropalumbo C, et al. A Simplified Regional Lung Ultrasound Score for Surfactant Administration in Neonatal RDS A Prospective Observational Study. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2025;60(7):e71206. doi:10.1002/ppul.71206. | PMID: 37843211

Study Type

Prospective Observational Study

Population

Neonates with Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Intervention

Simplified Regional Lung Ultrasound Score for Surfactant Administration

Follow-up

Until Surfactant Administration or Clinical Resolution

This study evaluated a simplified regional lung ultrasound scoring system to guide surfactant therapy in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome to improve timely administration and outcomes.

Key Learning Points

  • The simplified regional lung ultrasound score effectively identifies neonates who require surfactant therapy earlier.
  • Utilizing lung ultrasound scoring can reduce unnecessary surfactant administration and improve clinical outcomes in neonatal RDS.
