Application effect of lung ultrasound score in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome
Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of lung ultrasound(LUS)score in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS).Methods Seventy-one NRDS children were selected as research objects,lung ultrasound scans performed for all patients,and LUS scores recorded.LUS scores,peak inspiratory pressure(PIP)and inspired oxygen concentration(FiO2)were compared among patients with different chest X-ray(CXR)grading,at different time-point and with different weaning results;receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of the LUS score for patients'condition of the NRDS.Results Before treatment,the higher the CXR grading,the higher the LUS score and the parameters of PIP and FiO2(P<0.01).As the treatment continued,the LUS score,gradually lowered,and the LUS score was lower in patients with weaning success than ones with weaning failure(P<0.01).The ROC curve analysis showed that 14-zone ultrasound scores had a higher value diagnosing patients'condition of the NRDS.Conclusion The LUS score can effectively judge patients'condition of the NRDS children and evaluate the therapeutic effect.
