Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All babies <=32 weeks/ <=1250gms with respiratory distress within first 2 hours of life irrespective of type respiratory support or requirement of resuscitation needed at birth.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Neonates with hemodynamic instabilities (severe sepsis/ refractory shock). 2.Neonates with antenatally detected intrathoracic malformations including congenital heart defects 3.Neonates with other associated respiratory morbidities (air-leaks, MAS, pulmonary haemorrhage) 4.Babies admitted to the NICU after administration of surfactant in the delivery room 5.Consent/ Assent not given by parents

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.POCUS Lung score will be assessed in 6 predefined areas of lung fields, Within 2 hours after birth and before administration of surfactant. 2.Requirement of surfactant- when baby on Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) 5 cm of water with FIO2 requirement â?¥0.30 (â?¤26 weeks), or â?¥0.40 (26 weeks) with target SpO2 of 91% â?? 95% (after 10 min of life) Timepoint: 1.POCUS Lung score will be assessed in 6 predefined areas of lung fields, Within 2 hours after birth and before administration of surfactant. 2.Requirement of surfactant- when baby on Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) 5 cm of water with FIO2 requirement â?¥0.30 (â?¤26 weeks), or â?¥0.40 (26 weeks) with target SpO2 of 91% â?? 95% (after 10 min of life)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Oxygenation status-Oxygenation Index (OI),a/A ratio, S/F ratio,PaO2. 2.Nasal CPAP failure and need for invasive mechanical ventilation within the first 72 hours after birth. 3.Severity of RDS on Chest Xray. 4.Severity of RDS based on clinical parameters (Silverman-Andersen score). Timepoint: 1.Oxygenation status-Oxygenation Index (OI),a/A ratio, S/F ratio,PaO2- with in 30 mins of lung ultrasound 2.Nasal CPAP failure and need for invasive mechanical ventilation within the first 72 hours after birth. 3.Severity of RDS on Chest Xray-with in 30 mins of lung ultrasound 4.Severity of RDS based on clinical parameters (Silverman-Andersen score)-with in 30 mins of lung ultrasound
