Ultrasound Assessment of Diaphragmatic Function in Infants With BPD

NCT04941963 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2023-03-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Preterm infants have high and prolonged exposure to positive pressure ventilation, which contributes to acute lung injury and the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Despite the risk of diaphragmatic dysfunction in infants with BPD, the effect of prolonged ventilator support on the diaphragmatic function of preterm infants has not been well characterized.

Hence, we aim to characterize the diaphragmatic function of very preterm neonates with BPD who are corrected to ≥ 36 weeks using bedside ultrasound in comparison to healthy newborns born at ≥ 36 weeks gestation.

Conditions

  • Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Chest ultrasound

Patients will undergo chest ultrasound scanning after obtaining parent's consent. each enrolled patient will have one chest ultrasound to assess diaphragmatic function and lung ultrasound severity score.
