“…Few studies have proposed a sonographic workflow in sick neonates,1 9 24 36 but mainly focused on echocardiography (Targeted neonatal Echocardiography, TnECHO) or lung ultrasound rather than comprehensive sonographic assessment 37–42. The comprehensive sonographic characteristics in critically ill neonates remain uncertain 9 24 43 44…”

BackgroundHaemodynamic instability and hypoxaemia are common and serious threats to the survival of neonates. A growing body of literature indicates that critical care ultrasound has become the optimal evaluation tool for sick neonates. However, few studies have described sonographic characteristics of haemodynamics systematically in the neonates with critical illness. This protocol describes a prospective observational cohort study aimed at (1) characterising the sonographic characteristics of the neonates with critical diseases; and (2) assessing the mortality, significant morbidity, utility of vasoactive medications, fluid resuscitation, duration of ventilation, etc.Methods and analysisThis is a single-centre, prospective and observational study conducted in Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital from 1 December 2022 to 31 December 2027. Neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit will be recruited. After inclusion, the neonates will undergo the neonatal critical care ultrasound. The data collected via case report forms include clinical variables and sonographic measures. The primary outcome is to identify the sonographic characteristics of sick neonates with different diseases, and the secondary outcome is to describe the mortality, significant morbidity, utility of vasoactive medications, fluid resuscitation and duration of ventilation.DiscussionOur study provided an organised neonatal critical care ultrasound workflow, which can be applied in practice. Accordingly, this study will first set up large data on the sonographic description of the neonates with critical illness, which can help to understand the pathophysiology of the critical illness, potentially titrating the treatment.Trial registration numberChinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200065581;https://www.chictr.org.cn/com/25/showproj.aspx?proj=184095).

“…A recent systematic review that appraised BCCE training guidelines showed a widespread lack of adherence to systematic methods during the guideline formulation process. 4,11 Most guidelines issued their recommendations using aspirational/subjective terms rather than detailing precise criteria on the process of training. The authors recommended that any future expert panel guidelines must adhere to a systematic process of guideline formulation that includes the domains in a validated tool, such as the AGREE-II Critical Appraisal Tool for Clinical Practice Guidelines (Advancing Guideline Development, Reporting and Evaluation in health care).…”
