Brief Summary:
Identification of lung diseases causing neonatal respiratory distress by lung ultrasound as a tool that can replace x-ray
Detailed Description:
Lung disease is the most common cause of neonatal respiratory distress
It can result in respiratory failure and death in severe cases
The mortality rate is approximately 1132
Identification of the etiology of lung disease is important for neonatologists
Traditionally chest X-ray has been considered as the most valuable imaging modality for the diagnosis of lung diseases but it unavoidably causes radiation damage to the patient
Neonates are susceptible to radiation because they have rapidly dividing cells that cannot repair mutated DNA
The risk of cancer induction in infants receiving a single small dose of radiation is 2-3 times higher than the average population and 6-9 times higher than the risk from an exposure of a 60-year-old patient
New imaging modalities have been introduced in clinical practice in recent years such as lung ultrasound
One of the most common causes of neonatal respiratory distress that can be diagnosed by ultrasound is Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Respiratory distress syndrome is a major cause of neonatal mortality
It mainly occur in preterm infants due to structural and functional lung immaturity
Pulmonary surfactant insufficiency is an important pathogenesis in respiratory distress syndrome
The ultrasonic features of respiratory distress syndrome are Compact B-Lines white lung appearance abnormality in pleural line thick and irregularlung consolidation
Lung ultrasound has the advantages of
Non-ionizing
Easy to operate
Low coast
Portable for bedside use
The imaging is performed in real-time
Thus making it as a potential tool to be used in neonatal intensive care units
