Abstract:
Both respiratory distress syndrome of newborn and wet lung of newborn are the common reasons of neonatal respiratory dyspnea,but their treatments and prognosis are much different. It is difficult to differentiate them by clinical features and chest X-ray while the lung ultrasound can do it easily. In lung ultra-sonography images,the wet lung mainly manifestsd with pulmonary edema,while the respiratory distress syn-drome of newborn mainly manifested with lung consolidation with air bronchograms. Thus,it is important to perform lung ultrasound routinely at the bed side. It is suggested that neonatologist should master certain lung ultrasound skills,so as to facilitate the real-time monitoring of the changes of neonatal lung ultrasound.
