Usefulness of lung ultrasound in the diagnosis and follow-up of respiratory diseases in neonates

Abstract

Lung ultrasound should be established as the gold standard for diagnosis of respiratory diseases in neonates. Therefore, training in lung ultrasound should be included in the educational curriculum of neonatologists and in diagnostic and therapeutic care protocols. Research on the subject should continue to be pursued with performance of rigorous multicentre studies to increase the quality of the evidence.
