Preterm infants, especially extremely low gestational age neonates (ELGANs), are predisposed to pulmonary complications such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Assessment of lung function is critical for determining the respiratory outcomes in such children. A new study successfully developed and implemented a multicenter protocol utilizing impulse oscillometry, opening doors for future clinical studies to conduct accurate follow-up evaluations of lung health in ELGANs.
