Abstract:ObjectiveTo determine the accuracy of pre-extubation lung ultrasound (LUS) to predict reintubation in preterm infants born <32 weeks’ gestation.DesignProspective diagnostic accuracy study.SettingTwo neonatal intensive care units.MethodsAnterior and lateral LUS was performed pre-extubation. The primary outcome was the accuracy of LUS scores (range 0–24) to predict reintubation within 72 hours. Secondary outcomes were accuracy in predicting (1) reintubation within 7 days, (2) reintubation stratified by postna… Show more
