Yogen Singh, Svetlana Dauengauer‐Kirlienė, Nadya Yousef
Abstract
The use of lung ultrasonography in neonates is increasing at a very fast rate. Evidence-based guidelines on the use of lung ultrasound (LU) in neonates and children have been published and well received across the world. However, there remains a lack of standardized curriculum for lung ultrasound training and standards for its application at the bedside. This article focuses on providing a standardized approach to the application of lung ultrasonography in neonates for the common neonatal conditions and how it can be integrated into bedside clinical decision-making.
