Lung ultrasound score and diuretics in preterm infants born before 32 weeks: A pilot study

Pediatric Pulmonology Oct 12, 2020

Alonso‐Ojembarrena A, Lechuga‐Sancho AM, Morales‐Arandojo P, et al. - In this pilot study, experts aspired to explore whether weekly determined lung ultrasound (LU) scores in preterm infants born before 32 weeks (PTB32W) change with diuretic therapy. The sample consisted of infants who received diuretics and compared LU scores according to their evolution on respiratory support (RS) before and after diuretics. They involved 18 PTB32W divided into two groups. Both groups were comparable in terms of median gestational age: 26 weeks (interquartile range [IQR]: 25–28) in the responders' group and 27 weeks (IQR: 24–28) in the other. Findings revealed that there is a group of patients with PTB32W whose LU score improves after diuretics. This transition only occurs in patients that can be weaned from RS and over the same period of time as diuretic administration.
