ULTRASONOGRAPHY: The use of ultrasound, which is important in the assessment of the lungs, in newborns has increased in recent years. In this study, the findings of lung ultrasound in newborn patients diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia were evaluated. The study was followed in the newborn clinic, with a total of 30 facts with light BPD(10 facts), medium BPD(10 facts) and heavy BPD(10 facts). All cases were assessed by lung ultrasound. Ultrasound findings have been recorded. The average week of pregnancy of 30 women (14 girls and 16 men) received the study was 28.1±1.5 (26-31) week, the average birth weight was 1161.2±313,1(670-1950) grams. In the lung ultrasound examination of patients in all groups (light BPD, medium BPD and heavy BPD) B lines, alveolar interstitial syndrome, consolidation, limited normal areas and pleural line irregularities were detected, while reduction in the A lines in normal lung tissue was observed. While there was no significant difference between groups in terms of consolidation, limited normal spaces distribution and pleural line irregularity, a decrease in lines A (p=0,014) and an increase in alveol interstitial syndrome (p=0,008) were observed with an increase in lines B in cases where the BPD clinic was severe. The result is that lungs ultrasound does not contain radiation like direct graph, it can be applied repeatedly, it is practical and easy to reach. Given its benefits, it will be useful to use lung ultrasound in the diagnosis and tracking of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. For this purpose, the use of lung ultrasound is recommended more frequently in newborn intensive care services.

In this study, the findings of lung ultrasound in newborn patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasia were evaluated. A total of 30 cases with mild BPD (10 cases), moderate BPD (10 cases) and level BPD (10 cases) clinics followed in the neonatal intensive care unit were included in the study. All cases were evaluated by lung ultrasonography. Ultrasonographic findings have been recorded. The average gestational week of 30 cases (14 girls and 16 boys) was 28.1 ± 1.5 (26-31) weeks, and the average birth weight was 1161.2 ± 313.1 (670-1950) grams. B lines, alveolar interstitial syndrome, consolidation, spared areas, pleural line abnormality and decrease in A lines were detected in ultrasonographic examination of all groups (mild BPD, moderate BPD and level BPD). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of consolidation, spared areas and pleural line abnormality. In cases correlation with severity of BPD, we detected increase of B lines and decrease in A lines (p=0.014) and also increase in alveolar interstitial syndrome(p=0.008). CONCLUSION: Lung ultrasonography has important advantages as easily accessible, practical, nonionizing unlike chest radiography and it can be applied repeatedly at the bedside. When evaluated with its benefits, it will be useful to use lung ultrasound in the diagnosis and follow-up of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. For this purpose, more frequent use of lung ultrasonography is recommended in neonatal intensive care units. Keywords: Lung ultrasound, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, newborn, findings.
