Increasingly, LU has been shown to accurately predict the need for surfactant and decrease time to its delivery,3 potentially reducing lung injury. For neonates, LU possesses attractive characteristics including the absence of radiation, non-invasive technique, accessibility and ease of training.In the UK, the frequency of LU use in neonatal care is unknown. Additionally, no specific training curriculum exists. We aimed to investigate the use of LU in UK neonatal units … ER -
