Abstract

Lung ultrasound is rapidly becoming a useful tool in the care of neonates: its ease of use, reproducibility, low cost, and negligible side effects make it a very suitable tool for the respiratory care of all neonates. This technique has been extensively studied by different approaches in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), both for diagnostic and prognostic aims and to guide respiratory treatments. However, many neonates are being born in level I/II hospitals without NICU facilities so all pediatricians, not just neonatal intensivists, should be aware of its potential. This is made possible by the increasing access to ultrasound machines in a modern hospital setting. In this review, we describe the ultrasonographic characteristics of the normal neonatal lung. We also discuss the ultrasound features of main neonatal respiratory diseases: transient tachypnea of the neonate (TTN), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), pneumothorax (PNX), pleural effusion (PE), or pneumonia. Finally, we mention two functional approaches to lung ultrasound:

The use of lung ultrasound in level I delivery centers as a mean to assess the severity of neonatal respiratory distress and request a transport to a higher degree structure in a timely fashion.

The prognostic accuracy of lung ultrasound for early and targeted surfactant replacement.

Conclusion: LU is still a useful tool in level I/II neonatal units, both for diagnostic and functional issues.

What is Known:

• Neonatal lung ultrasound has been recently introduced in the usual care in many Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

What is New:

• It also has many advantages in level I/II neonatal units, both for neonatologist or even pediatricians that treat neonates in those sites.
