OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the role of the neonatologist-performed lung ultrasound (NPLUS) during immediate transition after birth of late preterm and full-term neonates using the lung ultrasound score to predict the need of respiratory support persisting more than 1 hour after birth.
