Identification of lung diseases causing neonatal respiratory distress by lung ultrasound as a tool that can replace x-ray .
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 11%:32%.
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:
Lung ultrasound has the advantages of :
Thus making it as a potential tool to be used in neonatal intensive care units.
