Brief Summary  

1.Neonatal lung ultrasound has become an indispensable bedside tool in Neonatology in recent years as it is quick, radiation-free, minimally invasive and holds the characteristics of a point-of-care technique.

2. A lung ultrasound can be used to easily diagnose respiratory distress syndrome, and a semiquantitative score based on ultrasound findings may reveal lung aeration.

3. The objective of our study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a neonatal-adapted LUS score to evaluate the need for surfactant administration in preterm neonates with respiratory distress. 

4.Now Fio2 requirement is the main factor for deciding surfactant need as per European consensus guideline 2019. By assessing ultrasound score and comparing with Fio2 requirement lung ultrasound score can be used as primary diagnostic in future NICU.
