Study of the Feasibility of Early Lung Ultrasound in Neonatal Respiratory Distress in Premature Newborns Born Between 32 Weeks of Amenorrhea and 36 Weeks Plus 6 Days of Amenorrhea, Hospitalized in the Neonatal Pediatrics and Intensive Care Units of the Dijon University Hospital

Monocentric study carried out in the Neonatal and Intensive Care Units of the Dijon University Hospital.

The objective is to evaluate the feasibility of performing a pulmonary ultrasound within 6 hours after admission in premature infants born between 32 weeks of amenorrhea and 36 weeks of amenorrhea + 6 days who are hospitalized for initial respiratory distress.

Pulmonary ultrasound is performed within 6 hours of admission and an ultrasound score is calculated according to the images observed.

Continued management according to protocols without taking into account the ultrasound data.

Follow-up of patients until discharge from hospital or D28 of life (whichever comes first)
