  • Born at \< 32 weeks gestational age.
  • The echo scans are indicated as per the recommended neonatal practice:
  • Preterm infants who require mechanical ventilation or non-invasive respiratory support (CPAP ≥ 4 cm H2O, High Flow ≥ 4 L/min).
  • Detection of a cardiac murmur in the first three days after birth.
  • Assessment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
  • Preterm infants have central line in-situ, so echo is needed to assess line position.
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA

  • Preterm infants with a poor prospect of survival.
  • Preterm infants whose parents do not consent.
