Details  All neonates admitted to NICU requiring mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours of life, and planned for extubation as determined by the clinical team  
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1. Major life- threatening congenital malformations, major chromosomal anomalies

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To determine the ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragm function as a predictor of extubation success in ventilated neonates in the NICU  48 hours 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. To compare the predictive accuracy of ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragm function and ultrasound assessment of the lung (lung score) for successful extubation

2. To develop a prediction model for determining successful extubation based on diaphragm function, lung ultrasound score and ratio of Oxygen Saturation to fraction of inspired Oxygen (SpO2:FiO2).  
48 hours after extubation

Response - NO
Brief Summary   We hypothesize that assessment of diaphragmatic dimensions and excursion, before planned extubation in neonates, may be helpful in predicting successful extubation of infants from mechanical ventilation. We further hypothesize that a combination of diaphragmatic function assessment, in association with lung sonography and the ratio of Oxygen Saturation to fraction of inspired Oxygen (SpO2:FiO2) would be a good predictor to success of extubation.  We aim to evaluate the diaphragmatic dimensions and excursion in ventilated neonates prior to extubation, and create a prediction model for extubation success, based on diaphragm function, lung score and SF ratio as a predictor for success of extubation
