Resumen: Objetivo: La ecografía pulmonar es una herramienta útil para el diagnóstico y seguimiento de la patología del paciente crítico neonatal. Su uso está cada vez más extendido gracias a sus ventajas sobre otras pruebas de imagen y el rápido incremento en la evidencia científica a su favor, constituyendo así, un pilar básico de las guías «point of care ultrasound» (POCUS) neonatal. El objetivo de este artículo especial es proporcionar las bases y aplicaciones diagnóstico-terapéuticas establecidas de la ecografía pulmonar, y dar a conocer nuevas aplicaciones. Métodos y resultados: La sección de ecografía pulmonar del Grupo de Trabajo de Ecografía Neonatal de la Sociedad Española de Neonatología resume la evidencia científica actual. Se describen los patrones ecográficos de las principales patologías respiratorias, aborda algunas de sus aplicaciones en la asistencia neonatal (predicción de ingreso, necesidad de surfactante, procedimientos ecoguiados, seguimiento del desarrollo pulmonar en el prematuro, entre otros) y propone su incorporación en otros escenarios actualmente menos establecidos como la reanimación o el manejo ventilatorio.Este artículo reafirma los beneficios de esta herramienta para ayudar en el diagnóstico, toma de decisiones terapéuticas, apoyo en procedimientos y valoración pronóstica. Conclusiones: La ecografía pulmonar debe establecerse como la prueba diagnóstica de elección en la patología respiratoria neonatal. Por ello, su entrenamiento debería formar parte de la formación de los neonatólogos e incluirse en los protocolos diagnóstico-terapéuticos asistenciales. Se deben seguir desarrollando líneas de investigación con estudios sólidos y multicéntricos que aumenten la calidad de la evidencia científica. Abstract: Objective: Lung ultrasound is a useful tool for diagnosis and follow-up of diseases in critically ill neonates. Its use is increasingly widespread thanks to its advantages over other imaging tests and the rapidly growing body of evidence to support it, and «point-of-care ultrasound» (POCUS) has become a key component in neonatal guidelines. The objective of this special article is to present the foundations and the established diagnostic and therapeutic applications of lung ultrasonography as well as introducing new applications. Methods and results: The Lung Ultrasound Section of the Neonatal Ultrasonography Working Group of the Spanish Neonatology Society has summarised the current scientific evidence. The article describes the sonographic features of the most common respiratory diseases, discusses some of the applications of ultrasound in neonatal care (such as prediction of admission and need of surfactant, ultrasound-guided procedures or monitoring of lung development in premature infants) and proposes its introduction in other scenarios in which its use is not quite established at present, such as resuscitation or respiratory management. This article reaffirms the usefulness of lung ultrasound in guiding diagnosis, clinical decision-making and prognosis and facilitating procedures. Conclusions: Lung ultrasound should be established as the gold standard for diagnosis of respiratory diseases in neonates. Therefore, training in lung ultrasound should be included in the educational curriculum of neonatologists and in diagnostic and therapeutic care protocols. Research on the subject should continue to be pursued with performance of rigorous multicentre studies to increase the quality of the evidence.

Point-of-care lung ultrasound is increasingly used to diagnose pneumothorax efficiently and safely in neonates.This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of the central and anterior transverse thoracic plane in the ultrasound diagnosis of pneumothorax, analyze the diagnostic value of the "mirrored ribs" sign, and evaluate the predictive value of the lung point location for the need of pleural drainage.Retrospective cohort study of all newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the Basurto University Hospital (Bilbao, Spain) due to respiratory distress and with ultrasound, with or without pneumothorax, between January 2014 and December 2020.The presence of A-lines behind the sternum in the anterior transverse plane in newborns with pneumothorax (N = 311) and controls (N = 195) was compared. A-lines were present in 98.9% of newborns with pneumothorax compared to none in the controls (p .0001). Diagnosis of pneumothorax with the anterior transverse plane presented high interobserver reproducibility (κ = 0.92, 95% confidence interval: 0.84-1.00). In contrast, the "mirrored ribs" sign in the anterior longitudinal plane was observed in 35.6% of patients with pneumothorax and in 36.9% of controls (p = .1505). A significant association was observed between lung point location and the need for pleural drainage (p .0001).A-lines in the anterior transverse plane is a simple ultrasound sign which presents high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility for the diagnosis of pneumothorax. The mirrored ribs sign showed low diagnostic utility. Patients with severe pneumothorax in lung ultrasound are most likely to require thoracic drainage.

Ultrasound-guided vascular access (USG-VA) is recommended by international practice guidelines but information regarding its use in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is lacking. Our objective was to assess neonatologist's perceptions and current implementation of USG-VA in Spain. This was a nationwide online survey. The survey was composed of 37 questions divided in 4 domains: (1) neonatologist's background, (2) NICU characteristics, (3) personal perspectives about USG-VA, and (4) clinical experience in USG-VA. One-hundred and eighty survey responses from 59 NICUs (62% of Spanish NICUs) were analyzed. Most neonatologists (81%) perceive that competence in USG-VA is indispensable or very useful in clinical practice. However, 64 (35.5%) have never used USG-VA in real patients. Among neonatologists with some experience in USG-VA most perform less than 5 procedures per year (59% in venous access and 80% in arterial access) and a 38% and 60% have never used USG for venous and arterial access, respectively, in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI). More than a half of neonatologists (55.5%) use US to check catheter tip location but a 46.6% always perform a radiography for confirmation. Spanish neonatologists report that resident/fellow training in USG-VA is absent (52.2%) or unstructured (32%) in their units. The lack of adequate training is identified by a 60% of neonatologists as the most important barrier for implementation of USG-VA and 87% would recommend that future neonatologists receive formal training. Spanish neonatologists perceive that USG-VA is important in clinical practice but currently, these techniques are largely underused. Our results indicate that specific training in USG-VA should be implemented in the NICU. • Ultrasound-guided vascular access is recommended as the preferred method for central venous access and arterial line placement in children and adults. • The degree of current implementation of ultrasound for vascular access in the NICU and the perceptions of neonatologist about its use are largely unknown. • Most neonatologists consider that competence in ultrasound-guided vascular access is an indispensable aid for clinical practice. • However, most neonatologists are not adequately trained in ultrasound-guided vascular access and the technique is largely underused.

Introduction: The lung ultrasound score (LUS) has been suggested to predict moderate-severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (msBPD) in preterm infants. We aimed to assess LUS evolution after birth in preterm infants and the effect of gestational age. Methods: This multicentre prospective observational study was performed with newborns born before 33 weeks of gestation. We created two groups: group 1 (23–27 weeks) and group 2 (28–32 weeks). We compared LUSs between the groups from birth until 36 weeks of postmenstrual age, and we estimated the LUS evolution in each group with a linear multilevel mixed-effects regression model. The effects of the need for surfactant or an msBPD diagnosis were also studied. Results: We included 339 patients: 122 (36%) in group 1 and 217 (64%) in group 2. The infants in group 1 showed a steady progression in the LUS from birth until 4 weeks of age and a subsequent decrease; the infants in group 2 showed a progressive decrease in the LUS throughout the study. This progression varied significantly in the first weeks of life in infants who required surfactant at birth and after the first week of life in the patients diagnosed with msBPD. Discussion/Conclusions: Extremely preterm infants showed persistently high LUSs during the first weeks of life, regardless of the progression to msBPD. In this group, the infants who did not require surfactant at birth exhibited an increase in their LUSs after the first week until their values were equal to the remaining infants in their group.
