Bedside Lung Ultrasound As A Predictor Of The Extubation Readiness In Preterm Infants

Le résumé fourni par la source

An accurate assessment of extubation readiness in preterm infants is very important as this population is prone to the re-intubation. Current criteria for extubation are based on clinical evaluation, chest radiograph findings, amount of ventilatory support and arterial blood gas (ABG) parameters. Several studies have shown that a low lung volume and/or features of atelectasis extubation could predict extubation failure. Lung ultrasound (LUS) provides with opportunity to detect both alveolar (consolidation) and interstitial lungs diseases at the bed-side. These data combined with clinical information could be used for the …
