What this Trial Is About
Respiratory morbidity presents a significant clinical challenge in the neonatal period, and an individual patient's clinical course is often difficult to predict. This is especially true for late-preterm infants, who share some of the same risks of premature babies in terms or respiratory morbidity, but whose births may not always be attended by a neonatologist, or who may be born at hospitals with lower level Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) and require transfer if they decompensate. With this study, the aim is to 1) determine the efficacy of early point of care lung ultrasound (LUS) to predict respiratory decompensation in the first 48 hours of life in late preterm infants and 2) to compare the performance of three lung ultrasound scoring systems, 3 type-of-lung, high risk pattern and total LUS scoring systems.
