Assessing lung aeration using ultrasound after birth in near-term lambs at risk of respiratory distress

BackgroundOptimizing respiratory support after birth requires real-time feedback on lung aeration. We hypothesized that lung ultrasound (LUS) can accurately monitor the extent and progression of lung aeration after birth and is closely associated with oxygenation.MethodsNear-term (140 days gestation...
