Abstract

Lung ultrasound is increasingly used in neonatal intensive care units. We reviewed the most recent available literature, mainly using PubMed, and summarized the ultrasonographic patterns, features of most neonatal respiratory morbidities, and clinical application in neonates. Lung ultrasound is a non-invasive, radiation-free, and reproducible adjunct tool that can guide the clinical management of neonates presenting with respiratory distress.
