Lung ultrasound score ≥ 6 predicts surfactant administration decisions in meconium aspiration syndrome: a multicenter prospective study
A lung ultrasound score of ≥ 6 exhibited near-perfect predictive capacity for guiding surfactant administration decisions (AUC 0.999). This technique provides rapid, non-invasive pulmonary morphological information, facilitating the identification of neonates meeting the criteria for surfactant therapy.
